I ran Prime95 for about 9 hours overnight. CPU is clocked at 4.0GHz (190.52MHz x 21). Even at full load after 9 hours the temps were below 70*C.

how did you paint the frame like that. wasnt it hard to get the good sweeping motion to all the parts? I also would have used a little bit darker primer since you are going black

I used an adapter on the spray cans that has a handle and a trigger (makes it easier on the hands and easier to aim). I had to hit it from all different angles but I got it. I used up/down and side-to-side sweeping motions so it wasn't really that difficult to hit all the parts. On the darkness of the primer, I used that light of a primer because I already had 5 cans of it and didn't have to buy any.

Most of the painting is done. Still working on the top grill (the paint wrinkled ). Will start the DVD drive mod next week.

Most times that happens is when the lower coat was not dry when you put the top coat on.
