I have that same issue at least 50% of the time that I set up a new rig
At least this is your main system so you caught it right away

I kinda miss Windows 8 and its fluidity but I'd rather have 80K more PPD and I should have switched back a long time ago. Maybe AMD/Microsoft will get whatever problem is fixed soon and I can go back to Win8 24/7.

That's about a minute or two faster than I'm pulling with the HD7950 and i3-2100 (although your card is certainly clocked higher, too). It seems like more than .4 threads/WU is beneficial (I'm giving the HD7930 .667)

Nope burned it. I now have my 700 watt unit I just got for my win xp build in it until I come up with yet another psu.
Update:
Guys meet Selene, my new cruncher. She is just getting warmed up and has upgrades in the works. She will be my main rig when all is said a and done.

Awesome new setup!
Guys, I'm sorry to have to do this, but I might have to shut down part of my farm over the next few days. The heat is just phenomenal. First to go would be all of the dual cores, and then if that wasn't enough, the 2700k/GTX470s. This would be just until ambients drop off a bit.
