^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Now for the questions.

What is the highest i would be able to over clock the e6600 to with this config on air cooling ( scythe infinity).

Would they scythe infinity fit on the motherboard fine?

Would there be any cooling issues.:mad:

Is the ram that i choose any good?

Is the case and power supply combo any good. I know i already have it but i still have a chance to return it.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

Can't tell you max speed, that depends on lots of factors, but I'm guessing somewhere in the range of 3.2 to 3.6 gig.

Don't know about the Scythe fitting that motherboard, but it's probably ok.

Make sure you have adequate case ventilation and a fan for the Scythe that flows a lot of air. You should be fine.

That RAM is good. The case is good. The PSU is a little lame, but you can always upgrade that later.

I'd recommend this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820148017), tight timings and can reach the higher FSB's of the processor with ease. I had some of the Corsair XMS 2x1GB PC-5400's myself, and they wouldn't hit over 370, even with a large cas. Really disapointed with them. I don't know if their DDR2-800s are much better.

but, since you purchased them, you should hit some high clock speeds, expecially with that motherboard and processor.

An e6600 will be fine with DDR2-800 ram, that's 400 FSB and he has a 9x multi. Plus the P5W DH isn't going to get 450+ FSB like the P965 chipset mobos.

The Crucial's Wowza recommend are excellent over clockers, I have them.

I have mine at ddr950 4-4-4-4 and they will max out at ddr1150 5-5-5-15 at 2.25v D9GMH IC's :D

You could consider the Abit AW9D-Max or Abit AW9D

The Crutial's linked are D9's (there are pictures floating around of the HS's off :D ), the price is very good as well.
