Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[gxsaurav]

Thanks then, let me talk to my vendor right now.

Oh! by the way, since I will not be overclocking, should I stick to the default CPU cooler & thermal compound bundled with the CPU or should I go with something else?

I got a tube of Arctic Silver 2 in my "Warehouse" (thh cupboard where I keep all my gadget boxes). It is a 2 years old tube, don't know whether the compound is still effective or not.

^^na these componds(AS2) don't go bad,so you can atill use it.BTW new tube costs about 250-300.

 

[gxsaurav]

ya but available on order only, so I going to use my AS2 if it is still liquid

 

[nish_higher]

i'd say better stick to the stock cooler and don't use that old thermal compound.coz if its ineffective u'll have to spend another 250 bucks to apply new compound.
and its a discontinued product


It can be used if u had kept it in fridge for 2 yrs.coz its shelf life is 2yrs only which can be extended in fridge

 

[gxsaurav]

It was in a shelf only .

I m throwing it out, it smells weird then it used to, seems like it has rotten

 

[nish_higher]

it can still be used in some other gadget if u into electronics

Just back from S.P.Road (the computer hub at bangalore).

E6550 = 6.8k
E6750= 7.45k
E8200 = 7.95k
DG31 = 3.1k (OEM), 3.5k (box)
DG33 = 4.4k box
Abit P35-E = 5.2k
RAM = 1.1kx2
8500GT (256mb) = 2.75k
8500GT (512) = 3.6k
8600GT (256) =4.9k
19" W Viewsonic DVI = 8.8k
500W PSU = 0.6k
20x SATA DVD RW = 1.05k

I'm now wondering, 6.8k for E6550, 7.9k for E8200!!! I'm all Can someone confirm if Peryn procs run on Intel G31 chipset? (DG31). On the net, I do see that it does... I'm all confused!

^ there's a tool on intel's webpage to check processor compatibility.i cant open the pages

Nope Infra.. They don't even support 1333mhz 65nm proccys. Forget the 45nm ones.

which shops did you enquire ? 8500GT256 looks real good. so does RAM. I suggest that you find out more about E6420 and its lower brother. they are cheaper by a huge extent.

I heard some cheaper boards exist with penryn(1333mhzfsb) compatibility. just search.

Ram Prices here in Wazirpur Market Delhi..

1 GB Kingston 667 - 900 /- (inclusive of taxes)
1 GB Transcend 800 - 1050 /- ( " )

@ Anirudh

8500GT with 256 MB RAM is good enough for all your non-gaming needs. Go for it.

What is the brand of that 500W PSU?

Here is the list of all CPUs supported by Intel DG31PR motherboard

Yeah 8500GT 256MB is more than enuf. Thats decided. 500W Codegen (I think) PSU.

I checked mostly all the old hats/new shops etc. and the whole market doesn't haf any E6000 series proc. below E6550. I was specifically looking for E6320 and E6420. All they haf is E2160/E4500/E6550 and up. The market has been flooded with E8200.

From the links I see that G31 Chipset can support upto Q9550 and clearly supports 1333Mhz E8200 (Peryn)!!! Whoa!!! Awesome board... If I can get the OEM board for 3k then nothing like it!!!

I don't think this saturday and sunday all shops will be open. Decide these two days, and burn lots and lots of calories this monday.

Try your best to get a mobo which is cheap, moderately overclockable and supports 1333MHz. Then you can comfortably run E8200 and OC it. Its strange that in the E6000 series, 420, the most common purchase and most VFM processor, is not available.

 

[infra_red_dude]

Sat. open, Sun. half day. This is business man!!! Not some school or IT company. If they close they lose!

I guess I'll either get DG31 or P35. Lemme see.
