Right there in the second pic answers this. You're not running the RAM in dual channel mode. Swap one of the sticks to another slot of the same color and you should get all the speed out of it. Also note that the Vista rating index thing is generally worthless.

Sure, it cost me $1270.14 ($35 in rebates). So about $1235 (monitor and all) although about $120 of it was because of tax and S&H.

Me and my friend were like "Huh, I wonder why it's only 5.5?" lol.
I'll change that when I get home. Will it make much if any performance change?

Kitarist

I can't speak on that cause I haven't seen those other cases =/

Thanks, I'll check those out in a little .

Edit: Tried the CoreTemp one, how long do you guys usually leave it running to test it? Right now the temps are about low to mid 40's.

Little update, when it sits idle it has around this:

Core #0 - 39°C - 0%
Core #1 - 37°C - 0%
Core #2 - 32°C - 0%
Core #3 - 37°C - 0%

The temps will go up and down a degree every couple minutes maybe and the % of each core never going higher than maybe 8%.

When I run World of Warcraft however it looks like this (jumps around a little of course):

Core #0 - 51°C - 25 to 55%
Core #1 - 49°C - 26 to 58%
Core #2 - 42°C - 5%
Core #3 - 47°C - 5%

Is that normal? I moved some wires out of the way of the fan on the bottom and turned the exhaust on the back near the CPU to Medium from Low although I can turn it to High.

You temp looks fine. The max temp for the Q6600 G0 is 71c.

I'll probably pick up a different CPU cooler mentioned earlier in the thread.
