If you are into cooling you should be interested in
how warm the CPUs are. Two utilities to measure CPU temp

Speedfan
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

CoreTemp
http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

Speedfan has been around for a while and has many features.
CoreTemp is rather new but reports the temp for all cores.

Thank you for this information. I spent some time searching for a good monitoring program and speedfan seems to be rich in features. Also nice 2 see a program that can monitor multiple cores =)

I apologies for the delay in my posts but I have been busy attempting to fill up the tank with Vodka. I am not sure why the tank is still empty; however I do remember that I called four of my friends to help me "fill the tank". So after two 750ml bottles of Sky and 750ml bottle of some 76% Polish Vodka, I felt that Vodka for coolant was not the best choice as it kept mysteriously disapearing. However, my friends believe that Vodka makes and ideal coolant that will keep "internal parts clean and happy". Not sure what they meant by that, but more people showed interested in my cooling system after that last night's incident. Perhaps the use of such coolant is beneficial to technically and non-technically minded individuals...

Bill: I disagree regarding GPUs being more important than CPUs.

My old 8600GT with an overclocked Core 2 Duo beat an 8800GTS with a stock Core 2 Quad in framerate.
