Thanks Dave! Got that link bookmarked!

On a cool day with a nice ambient my CPU cores usually stay around 67 - 70c during Prime95 SmallFFT's, but they can get as hot as 75c on load depending on the ambient.
My 920 D0 happens to be one of those early batches that run at a fairly low Vcore but run much hotter compared to other 920 chips. I'm 24/7 stable at 4GHz with HT on and VDroop enabled, so my Vcore is 1.25v at idle and 1.22v under full load. I can't go much higher than that with air cooling since this is such a hot chip, 4.2GHz was too hot for air cooling.
The only other thing that adds to the heat is the damn VREG on this Motherboard, it idles at 56 - 60c and can go up to as high as 88c when the CPU is under full load.
I'm looking at investing in a custom water cooling setup though.
Well here's my first complete build....I was reluctant to show it since my cable management is not up to snuff compared to a lot of great looking rigs you all have. Next one will definitely have a modular PSU
