Insanely good case for the price. Awesome price (even better if you have a Microcenter nearby to save...
Hmm.. it's showing 1.416 V in CPU-Z. It's just using "Auto" settings in the BIOS, so I guess I'll ratchet it down to 1.31V and see how stability looks.
Edit: So yeah, good call. I'm down to 37C idle, and 54 load (@3.0Ghz | 8x375) which I suppose isn't terrible with the semi-cramped case...
Yes. I received a new RMA motherboard, and just yesterday applied a new fresh layer of AS5. I understand that AS5 may need some "settling" time, but these temps still look a little too high.
I've got it OC'ed to 3Ghz now (8x375) and I'm seeing idle temps at ~41C, and load at near 60.

Thanks OP.
Why not just post "$130 AR (Free Shipping)"?
I'm also not a fan of the "advertise the AR price as the shipped price" mumbo-jumbo.
Either way, this is a great deal. I hope the prices continue to fall as I save up for my C2D upgrade. :)
