Nath, i have those pics in a bigger res so i will crop them and load them up soon.

Installed Vista Ultimate on it last nite, and graphics drivers etc, didn't do much else as my bf's net was downloading stuff at bout 10kb/s.

With no overclocking yet, the Vista rating thing is 5.9 for every component except the CPU which is at 5.6 lol. Not sure if the overclocking later will up my rating?

Temps with the coolit on idle with no overclocking are 31C in the CPU and GPU, and the Board sensor says 36C (anyone know where this sensor is?). Without the Coolit on it jumps to 46C at Idle.

Hottest item in the machine would be the RAM sinks on the Graphics card, is reporting 50C, which is a tad better than swiftech's example one at 55C, although i'm not sure what sort of margin for reading error i should give.

Will run some 3d mark and pc mark benchmarks before i start trying to overclock bits.

Roz
