(I Still cant afford I7 So dont bring it up) I may just get a cheap Q6600 but Im really leaning towards a Q9550 and wanted to know whats the difference between the E0 Spec and C1 of the Q9550? Its it worth getting one or the other? Im not going to overclock the guts out of this system I just want a nice stable quiet & cool running, daily use system to do my stuff on. Also what Heatsink Fans can people recommend for both the Q6600 or Q9550? Also dont suppose if anyone knows if Coarsair XMS 2 800Mhz ram would be ok on this board. Its not on the Compatability list but It wasnt on my X48-DS5's either and it rocks on it. Ok I think that is all for now.

ive got the Q9550 on standard intel heatsink, ive not overclocked it but i convert alot of my DVDs to AVI once ive ripped the VOBS to HD it takes only 15minutes! temps are pretty good using a stock cooler at idle its around 37-38 and load while converting goes up to 45degrees while using all 4 cores. id defo go for the it.
ive only got 2 12cm fans one in front of HD and the back fan near cpu in a akasa eclipse case.
in regards to the E0 and C1 i have no idea which one i have.
not the best info but hope it helps someway.
