TAT - Thermal Analysis Tool made by Intel
CoreTemp - Superb tool for C2D's

I very well might be getting one of those boards as well.

Drop the multi to x7 and see what your max FSB is. I wanna see if it's E6300 worthy.

Also - You should keep it under 60c load for Intel. 85c is FAR TOO HIGH

No not really. 80C is fine for Intel. I would like it under 60C myself but it's not going to fry at 80C. My friend has been running his E6600 at 80C for as long as he's had it (since they came out).

there are 3 temp programs, so i don;t know what else to say, but if they are right, my cpu is runnign very cold

I'm pretty sure that all P35s have 1:1 as the lowest ram divider. This board may be different but I'm pretty sure they aren't.

Gotta say it again: that's a NICE looking board. 4gigs of DDR3 so you're prepared for the price drops. A great purchase, Murc.

I wonder when they'll release Dual PCI-E X16 slots in this format. I'd like to not have to go and buy a DDR3 board. Being able to pick and choose like this is vellynice.

yeah, i'm not sure i really want to make the switch because the DDR3 prices are very depressing, but i sleep better at night knowing i don;t have to worry about it if i do want to upgrade. I'm not big on SLI or CF so i don;t care much for a second 16x slot, but it would be a nice thing to have. I;ve reasearched this build for a while now so i don;t regret any of the parts, except for the 8800 320mb. I didn;t have enough money at the time so i'm probably going to step it up to the 640 in august or see if anything new comes in the time spand.

BTW, does anybody know whats up with my temps, they seem very low? Oh and I have played World in Conflict maxed out for a few hours and hasn;t skipped a beat, so i'm pretty sure 3.2ghz@1.375v is stable enough. I will attemp to reach a higher FSB tomorrow after work.

I think your build is really good, dude. I was commentin' on the dual slots for meself, that's all.

Now you're making me second guess based on that alone.
