Okay, I have a copy of Windows 7 and my optical drive. I'll update my temps tomorrow.

Boom. 32 degrees.
With windows installed, a DOA (so I think) Hard drive and a case fan that I can't seem to install, and a power cable for my optical drive I can say that I'm in the final stretch.
I guess i'll start a new topic for these things, since they're different from this.
I love you all

I don't really understand how this issue was resolved. A bit more explanation may help others.
Sorry, I was in a hurry.
Okay, now that Windows is loaded, the temperature has dropped to an average of 32 degrees (accrd. to CoreTemp), which doesn't give me a heart attack like my original 50 deg+
But, as with most things, I still have issues that I'll address in other topics.
These include:
1) Possibly DOA Hard drive (My SSD is fine)
2) A case fan that I can't seem to screw in
3) I need to buy a power cable for my optical drive
I solved it by actually using Windows to read my temps, along with re-securing the CPU cooler.
Turns out my BIOS is 15-18 deg off my true idle temp
Thanks for the update Dave, but get a decent cooler for the CPU. I suspect you'd see another 5C-10C drop.
