 You need an advanced cooling system to run it! January 30, 2008

The Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor X6800 is the fastest Intel processor as of the end of 2007. It is 2.93 GHz; 1066 MHz FSB; and 4 MB L2 Cache. It is much faster and more stable than the fastest AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) CPU. br / br /I bought the X6800 for my games computer. I call it games computer because I only use it to play games, specifically Microsoft Flight Simulator and its many add-ons. However, it completely messed up my computer. Let me explain why. br / br /The chip warms up pretty quickly--we are talking temperatures of up to 90 degrees Celsius! That's how hot it got to be in my computer. My ASUS motherboard comes with temperature probe software, so I was easily able to measure this temperature. When such high temperatures are reached, my computer automatically shuts down to protect itself--a nice feature, but one that will eventually corrupt your Windows software. After several unannounced shutdowns, my Windows software became corrupt and I was no longer able to boot-in into Windows. I had to do a system restore! Thank God I had just backed-up my computer the day before. br / br /Don't make the same mistake I did. In order to run the Intel X6800, you need to have a very sophisticated cooling system in your computer case. I actually have 6 fans in there, but that was not enough. I have a fan on each of my two Nvidia graphics cards; one over the CPU; one on the power box, and two fans, one on each end of the case. All 6 fans were not enough to prevent the internal temperature of the case to reach the high 70s Celsius. Within seconds my computer would shut down. br / br /You need to buy a case with liquid cooling, and many are available for purchase on the web. A good website is frozencpu. be aware also that the hotter a chip becomes, the slower it will work. With a god cooling system you will get the optimum performance out of the X6800. br / br /Also be aware that not all motherboards will run the Intel X6800 (LGA775). Check with your manufacturer first. You either will have to upgrade your BIOS or buy a new motherboard. br / br /The X6800 will be great for gaming if you have a good computer case with an advanced cooling system.

I AM RUNNING THIS PROCESSOR WITH (2)SAS 15K HARD DRIVES RAID O, 256 VIDEO CARD (FX 3450) 2GB OF RAM. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE ROCKET. I MUST ADMIT I AM A SPEED FREAK. THIS IS A WORLD AWAY FROM THE 2.66 CONROE PROCESSOR EVEN THOUGHT IT WOULD NOT SEEM SO. I AM GOING TO BUILD ANOTHER SYSTEM LIKE THIS FOR MY SISTER.
