    955 running hot, unsure why

    im assuming you were using a stock HSF, if so which one was it the heat pipe versions or just a aluminum one? that could explain why the temps spiked so fast, but even so not taxing your system that does seem like a big jump in temps... how clean is your current HSF and what is your case...

    Question for the smart folks on the A10 5800k

    he is running a tight SFF case, i dont think a tower cooler (even one of the smaller ones) is going to work in his situation i think you are on the right track of thinking of a different cooling solution as well, i dont think you will accomplish much by going to dual graphics solution as it...

    620 x4 vs 965?

    the benefit wouldnt justify the cost imo, if you are going to go all out on a cpu upgrade id go for at least a x6 (if your mobo can take one), but really id just save up for a system upgrade

    world community grid...disparity between i3 and i5

    you beat me to it, but you are absolutely correct, als0 that is nearly identical to my 6850's output OP depending on settings, if you have ever tried using that computer when it is crunching a GPU unit it will be very sluggish
