Can't seem to partition my drive with that amount for some reason.. Anything higher and it becomes 0 total size after shrink in MB, and can't click ok

Okay, thanks.. just idling around 46Cish with this heatsink seems a bit odd, seeing how other people get way lower idles then I do. I really kind of wanted to OC to around 3.9 or something. I'll have to mess around in the future and try to get it better, somehow..

I was also wondering how to determine the ambient temps, somehow thanks

Sorry for the late reply, been so busy as of lately :| but okay, I ran Prime95 for 33 minutes and took this screenshot as it was still going: And one more thing, I want to partition my one hard drive into two, one for Windows and other small things, and the other for games/media/apps...

sorry for huge image - ran prime95, and this shot was taken like 20-30ish seconds after i stopped, so the temperatures lowered quickly. the cpu seemed to stay around 57ish range under the test. doesnt seem like temps are the way they should be. anyone got any ideas? also more strange...

Anyone have any idea on what I should try? :|

After checking out CPU temperature readings and stuff, I think something is really wrong. I've opened up the case and re-applied TIM in different ways thinking my application is f'ed up, but I'm starting to think it's something else? I don't know. Could it be the way the heatsink is mounted...

Well, everything is pretty much done inside case wise. The computer is running and so far seems good. Except when I turned on the computer for the first time yesterday, the BIOS found the HD/keyboard etc but then it wouldn't go past this error message "USB Over Current Status Detected...

Thanks for all the help, almost done setting up! Just to make sure though, a question about the Antec 900 and the fans included with them It seems the fans all have 4-pin molex connectors, so do I plug those into the cables provided with my PSU and hook it up to the PSU and I'll be set with...

Hm, yeah. I was ignoring the brackets included with the retention bracket kit, and looking at the push-pins and getting confused. But I understand it all now, haha. I haven't applied the Tuniq TX-2 to anything yet, as I'm not sure if I'm supposed to apply it to both the CPU and the heatsink...

Yeah I'll post some pictures and stuff when everything is set. This Xigmatek cooler with the retention bracket installation is kinda confusing me, ha :|

Yeah, can't wait to finally play some games and whatnot. Coming from a Pentium 4 2.66Ghz CPU, 1Gb Ram, and a vanilla nVidia 6800 :|

Finally, everything is delivered! A big thanks to the many people out there who helped me make some changes to my previous list and other advice. Now all that's left to do is piece everything together, and to be honest I'm really intimidated, ha, being my first custom desktop. I've been...

Man, it really sucks how not many people really play UT3 on PC. It's one of my favorite online FPS to play.. wish something would happen and it would become as popular as 04. The Xbox 360 UT3 community is getting a lot smaller too.

Hm, interesting. Guess I don't need to consider that model then.. but I'm still on the fence on what 24" to get
