Okay, latest on my pc.
Haven't gotten around to putting the video card in. I've had some power problems that screwed something up with my PC.
I've had a couple times that required multiple (like 50+) reboots to get back to win 7 screen.
I bought an APC BackUPS ES 750 to help with the weird power outages. It's awesome. Connects to PC and you can set up how long to run on UPS and it monitors everything including how much power your using. Got it for a nice price on sale at Office Depot.
Still had some random blue screens and crashes. I suspected ram. I took out one of my chips and ran with only one and things seemed to stabilize. I ran both sticks in NON-dual channel (ran them in 1-2 instead of 1-3 for dual channel) and ran pretty good. Still got a reboot though.
Ordered some G.Skill ECO (1.35v) ram, 4G of the 12800 (1600) to replace my 1333 sticks. Put them in dual channel and have run solid for over a week. Very happy with the purchase.
Same order I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus heatsink/heatpipe/fan for my CPU. I'm just tired of hearing the default tiny fan spinning at 6000rpm all the time. I was going to have it put in as I haven't done it before, but they wanted $45 to do it. I felt I could learn for that price.
Installation went really smooth. As to the cooler itself, couldn't say more about it. Awesome. Works for like every chipset out there!
Here's some real numbers:
Stock Fan
27*C (78*F) on the cores
40*C (104*F) on the cpu
5921rpm CPU fan
Hyper 212 Plus
20*C (68*F) on the cores
34*C (93*F) on the cpu
1864rpm CPU fan
The 120mm fan is virtually silent. Cooled the cpu down by 10 degrees and turned it into an almost silent machine.
I'll see how things go, but I might have finally gotten all the gremlins out. If it stays up for a week or so I'll toss in that video card
