Gday Chris.

Congratulations,

Very good pics, Can@t see if you did get an SSd..

I suggest you take an image of the OS drive and create a recovery disk. Also when making chnges to the lsystem or installling software, I always create a manual restore point as I do not trust the auto one.

Hey again friend!

Everything with computer is going just fine, been editing and gaming like crazy. But i have one concern whenever I play one of the high end games. My cpu temperature goes up to between 70 - 79C is that a problem or normal? My motherboard temp goes from 26 - 30C.

Any concerns or just me being a wuss?

Thanks again mate.
Hope everything is going well
Chris.

Hi DarkByte

iammykyl may be offline for a couple of weeks as he is visiting family here in the UK.

The Ivy Bridge range of CPUs run hotter than the previous Sandy Bridge and as long as your temps do not get a great deal hotter you will be fine as the max temp for your particular CPU is 105.C, see specs tab @ http://www.microcent...duct_id=0388575
