Not only this year we had one day 25c+ in the shadow, and the next day there were 2cm of snow on the ground
we went from46C to -1C within 3 months this year. i just make sure its stable in worst case scenario (running no CPU fan to simulate summer is a good start), and then i know its good all year around.

I don't think you understood enough of it. It's not a stress test. At least that's what your post made it seem like you thought it was.

I'll be honest with you, I didn't get a full understanding of it. I'm new here, never heard of it until now. Explain it so I do understand. Thanks.

Thanks bro. Shoot me a PM, there's tons of info I can feed your way to help you get setup if you decide you want to do it.

kinda back on topic though. I SHOULD finally have my x6 and Crosshair IV this week here. Finally my red/black build will come together

I'll try to do a little something to get it looking as neat as possible before going water. So I'll see what I can come up with for you guys

They run cool AND they have a sensor bug, so people think they're cooler than they are. for now, i just stick with the old rule of "under 60C at load"
I just stick with old old rule of "if it doesn't crash, and isn't smoking, it's fine".

Haven't run any official tests yet, but CPU was idling in the 30C range. Good start.

Installed the 1GB DDR3 stick (for 3GB total) and the like new 5450 that Shev sold me into the second machine today. Really liking the 5450 so far. Might replace the GPU TIM sometime or another, gotta do what you can to keep these passive cards cool.
