To answer your question about the ICH:
It again requires digging deep into the highly verbose Intel manuals.
The max. temperature for the ICH is 92 C, and MCH is 102 C or so.
So your in the 'safe' range.

What kind of fan arrangement do you have in your chassis? Whats the ambient room temperature?
I have had some success by having an intake fan directly blowing over the ICH (southbridge) - but then there are also dust problems.

i've Zebronic AntiBiotic cabinet.

the side fan blows air near it.

room temp. around 23.
cabinet temp. = ~30-40
dust not a problem here.

I wd say sell off ur mobo and get a Cheap mobo supporting 1333mhz fsb like the palit p35 for around 3k and get a better proccy like the e6750 or the q6600..

better to get whole system at once IMO :)

but you are getting a GFX card and a MOBO that too from US .. so i recommend

ATi 3850 512 MB will be better .. some 200 odd dollars
The 3850 has More memory than which is better and more future proof...

Also if you got more money go for Ati 3870 512 mb... best VFM right now...
Better than 8800 GT 512 (Check out Tomshardware ;) )


besides you have Direct X 10.1 Support in new ATi Cards;) Not very crucial though !

For MOBO i would suggest One with crossfire.. I think Intel has a few chipses supporting it ..

anyways gd luck.....

u sure 3870 etter than 8800GT?
I saw in anandtech that its better than 8800640MB but not as gud as GT.

Me too is getting a sub 250$ card from US on Jan~Feb 08. I was thinking bout 3870 512 from MSI @ 239$ at newegg or 3850 MSi 256 for 169$.
Not much diff in performance b/w them. Only clocks are different.

Canu give some link bout 3870 beating 8800GT, plz.

1 doubt :oops:

dont these proc. support various FSB's? like the m/b support FSB's = 533/800/1066/1333... .


---------
i've set my eyes on e6550 & xfx 8600GT (wil try to get by new year) & in jan. end will get a ASUS (x38 ) based m/b [under $250] + RAM sticks (frm USA).

Dude even P35 chipset also supports 45nm penryns with BIOS update. X38 is the best chipset after nvidia 780i but wait for some cheap chipsets like 780i LT and 750i.So, wait till JAN!

Well e6550 is a 1333mhz proccy.. Wont work on ur 965wh :p

this "fenix" guy is saying that the e6550 WILL work but at 1066MHZ (obviously:))).

so is that guy right or wrong?

Well theoretically saying, it should work! Like when u have a 400 MHz DDR RAM and a motherboard only supports upto 266 MHz and 400MHz will work like on 266 MHz.
But somebody gotta give some results after doing some RnD!

But i must tell u about that ASUS P5E3 that it supports DDR3 and NOT DDR2 so its gonna costa' fortune for that motherboard and DDR3!
And the motherboard will support X-Fire, not SLI!

ALso i have heard that DDR2 RAM price will also fall a little more!

Very ballistic. But u gotta have a more ballistic mobo and proccy and gpu to be able to squeeze the juice out of it. :D
btw s18000rpm i really dont think that a e6550 ll work on a dg965wh cos u cant even underclock it manually.

ok guys.

now i'l try to find e6700 or settle for other 1066Mz proc. , coz anyway we can later OC it to 1333+ :))

btw any difference in e6700 & the latest e6550 apart from FSB?
any issues with the former proc.?

Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 - Effortless Overclocking

*www.hardwarezone.com/img/data/articles/2007/2291/sm2004-1.gif
:D

i'll settle for E6420 :))

can someone tell the price of Core 2 Duo E6420?

The E6600 is a beaut for OCing. Most chips will do 3.6 if provided proper cooling. Also, i suggest that you go for a nVidia 650i based mobo for asynchronous OCing.
