    Q9550 or Q9550S ?

    Then go for the Q9550S, there is 1 minor difference between the two but it realistically makes no difference, the 9550 has support for an instruction set that the 3360 doesn't. Also, the temps you see below are with a NT06 with no active cooling, the power supply fan acts as the cooling as it...

    Q9550 or Q9550S ?

    Below is a screenshot of my Q9550S. I was under the same dilemma and just ended up going with the S version as it was going in a SUGO case. If you can find it at a decent price, get the L3360 chip. It's the server version that tends to be ~ $150 cheaper, at the time I ordered the Q9550 was $280...

    Heatsink to cool Nvidia 9400 north bridge on Gigabyte motherboard?

    Suggestion for a cool & reliable 40mm fan? Is there any way I can nicely and securely rig a 80mm fan (since I have a bunch laying around) onto this sucker?

    OCZ Vertex in SUGO SG02

    Can anyone recommend some mounting brackets / techniques / tools for putting the OCZ vertex drives in this case? I currently have 1 that is just sitting there but I am ordering and 2nd soon and would like to have a clean finish to it. I know OCZ sells some mounting rails but I'm not sure if...

    Heatsink to cool Nvidia 9400 north bridge on Gigabyte motherboard?

    What if noise is a concern for me? Since I use the built in graphics, I was thinking of taking an old vid card, cleaning off the PCB and mounting a very quiet 120 or 80mm fan so it can blow directly on the heat sink. The heat sink also feels a bit loose, is it supposed to be this way?

    Heatsink to cool Nvidia 9400 north bridge on Gigabyte motherboard?

    I have the GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H motherboard inside of a SUGO2 case where the north bridge temperature reading when idle is hovering around 70C when the room temp is 20C. It gets too hot to even put my hand on it. Can someone recommend a passive heat sink that will fit in this case and cool...

    L3360 vs Q9550S

    Nice, ordered it up from nextdaypc.com for $257.12. Oddly enough I got the idea from a newegg.com review for the Q9550S. Sucks that the guy didnt post it until after I placed my order... LOL http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115210 Great for overclocking...

    L3360 vs Q9550S

    Anyone seem to know the difference between these 2? Looking online they have the same specs except the L is meant for servers and costs ~$250 while the Q costs ~$400... Having just bought the Q9550S I am very tempted to return it. Some info...

    SFF Build Parts Check - Ready to Order...

    The trayless bay looks like it has holes on the sides but thats just from the pictures... I would put this in the 3.5 floppy drive bay the SG02 has. Newegg also carries the item you mentioned but the sole review on it seems a bit puzzling? :confused: OCZ OCZACSSDBRKT Solid State Drive...

    SFF Build Parts Check - Ready to Order...

    Looks good to me! Any foreseeable issues by using this if I was to use in a RAID setting? Also, would I be able to just pop this into the SUGO case or would I need an additional adapter?

    I thought the NT06-E wouldnt fit in the SUGO case because its 4mm higher than the NT06??? Is that not the case?
