well today in the post i got a nice surprise, well kind of i knew they were coming, but my E7200, P5Q Pro and Xilence fans turned up (still waiting on 2nd HD 4850 
)
ok installation went superb, swapping the mobo was easy as pie, infact the hardest part was taking the backplate off from my Silent Knight Cooler and installing it to the P5Q Pro
took me maybe an hour tops to swap them out and get it turned on, result
Anyway started her up and she posted first time
, also a result lol, dont know how many times ive pushed that power button on a new build and got nothing haha
went into the bios, and one of the first things i checked on was my temps (using Asus Silent Knight pure al and arctic silver 5) and my cpu was running at 94c
holy shit, restart and double check ................. 94c still omfg, i quickly turned her off and even tho i was dying just to get windows installed, i took the hsf off and low and behold the hes wasnt even touching the cpu, it was free from tim :shadedshu now ive never had this happen before and put it down to the silent knight, as good a cooler as it is, it can be a tad fiddly to install, its huge, so i reseated it, and crossed fingers and turned her back on, this time it was 29c omfg good job it was only for a minute otherwise my shiny new E7200 would have been toast 
got windows installed in a breeze, and am now glad im back on the Darkside muahahahaha.
overclocking yet to be done, but im thinking 3.6ghz 24/7 is a walk in the park and plenty enough juice for me
now just to wait for my 2nd HD 4850
