Well that's it, isn't it.

Under what feels like full load my ATI 5770 card does not have the fan on full.

Correction, its 60C with the fan at about 60%.  I'm going to lock the fan at 30% for a while and see what happens.

Oh so Viper does this pass muster?

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor
GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
It would be good, but I see you're now going the Intel way...  How much cheaper is the intel?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

It's actually about  $60-70 more, but after reading more up on Sandy Bridge cpu decided to go that route.

Not at Amazon, and Nxic wants $70 for for just the motherboard for slower shipping than newegg.

So i'll just wait for it to be back in stock at newegg.

Yeah one of the pains of living here is shipping from lower 48 is fucking expensive, if companies will even ship here at all.

Apparently, mobo manufacturers are having supply issues of one of the on-board controllers.
April should be better.
That means you'll get the computer by Christmas, mate.  :hug:
