Ok, thanks again on the good advice. I will work back down to 4.5ghz. I think my procy thanks you too.

Well it can go 100F+ for more than a week here during the summer. "Normal" days outside those are in the 90s (often high 90s) from May till Halloween. Winters are short, but can get below freezing for multiple days too.
Quote:Ah... a HTPC case. Does it have casefans?
No, not a real HTPC case. My real HTPC case (an Antec NSK2480) won't fit the huge cooler, so I am using a Thermaltake SopranoRS currently. I like the PS3-ish black front, but I will admit it has much worse airflow than my servers (Antec 300 and 1200) or the NSK2480. If 4.5ghz knocks down the temps enough I could probably get by with my Scythe Mini Ninja hsf which does fit in the HTPC case.
My fans are Antec TrueQuiet 120s. One on the back and one on the case side above the GPU, both left on high speed. Oh and the aforementioned Antec Tri-cool 120 on the hsf left on low.
