I have All of my beautiful parts sitting here to look at now.
But because I broke my arm it will probably be 2 or3 more weeks before I can put it all together!

[Jim_S]

She's Running ,No OC yet I'm gonna see how she shakes out.

Good luck with it Jim......
Sorry to hear about the broken wing there.  Heal quickly.

What the hell would be the cheapest way to cool this thing without shutting it down?

[arkayn]

I am running mine with the provided cooler and have seen no problems on mine, I even changed from a HD4830 to a GTX 460 today.

Did you enable "Core Boost"?
I read somewhere that it can cause Heat problems.

I have not heard of it, so most likely not.

I checked and I am running around 53˚C or so.

I think he's referring to the Turbo Boost option in the bios for the i7?

Nope, he built a machine with the exact same components as one I have built,

Athlon II X4 630 (4 x 2.8GHz - 2MB Cache - 4000MHz FSB)
Gigabyte M68M-S2P

Oops, my bad.....
Then I am not sure what is being referred to, I did a search for it and came up with nada.

[Jim_S]

It was a bad fan. I put my X2 cooler on it but it's running at around 80C during the day and about 71C at night.
I need to find a cheap ( Under $20.00) cooler and quick!
However it won't be until after the 3rd of next month.
I hope it holds out until then.

DAYUM!!! Got my new AMD heatpipe cooler and dropped temps down into the 50s.
I IZ HAPPY!
