The difference is 71'C VS 62.2°C. The G0 can overclock higher because it can sustain a higher maximum temp. Hence, the higher price tag.

Not the best, not the worst. Less than 30 euros.

Whats the difference between B3 and G0???

 

[arisgr0]

sorry now i got it
So G0 is for OCers

 

[akhilles]

No problem. Both can be overclocked, but G0 will o/c higher than B3.

 

[arisgr0]

Thank you!
i dont know what to do:
e6600 for 100 euros
q6600(B3) for 180 euros
Ive heard that e6600 is a GREAT overclocker!
What would you do?

 

[akhilles]

Depends on what you do on the pc: if you game more, get e6750. If you work more, get q6600.

 

[arisgr0]

well im talking about 2 specific used cpus.
There is no e6750

I am interested in gaming and i think im going for e6600 just for the less money
Is B3 a big deal?

 

[Guest]

The E6750 is a much better CPU than the E6600 and should be around the same price. Look around for that.

 

[akhilles]

Go with the used e6600 then.

 

[arisgr0]

Im buying tommorow e6600 and
gigabyte p35-ds3
What do you think?

I must now choose a cooler!
A question: the mobo's fan header has 4 pins.
Some coolers have 3 pins.Arent they compatible??

 

[arisgr0]

Anybody for the pins please?
Whats the fourth pin all about anyway?

 

[akhilles]

The best Gigabyte board right now is GA-P35-DS3R. If you can afford it, get it.

4-pin can be hooked up to 3-pin no problem. I think the 4th is a fan control.

Go with Scythe Infinity or Ninja or Gigabyte Hyper TX 2 if it has a rebate. $10 US after rebate for TX2.

 

[arisgr0]

Whats the difference for the "R" at the end of the model name?

 

[akhilles]

Raid. Mine has no Raid.

 

[arisgr0]

thanks akhilles
so....coolers with 3 pins...the fan will rotate in maximun rpm right?
That is baaad for our ears

Grab the E2180 ang OC it to 3.2 and it will blow the e6600 away. Best thing is its only 90USD.

 

[akhilles]

To o/c you run fans at full speeds or your o/c will be lower/unstable(overheating).
