Hey guys, just finished putting together my new build which is a i7 920 w/ DO cooled by dark knight, 6 gig corsair dominator, 2 WD 640 gig (raid 0). evga 295 gtx card, asus p6t deluxe v2, corsair 850 watt modular psu, and antec 1200.

I have installed speedfan and check my bios temps and so far I am looking at 31 Celsius at idle, not sure if this is good but it seems like I am getting really nice airflow with just the stock fans from the antec 1200. I have heard these i7s run hot so I am pretty happy with the temps right now.

Gonna try and crank it up to about 3.4 and see what my idles and loads are. Is there anything else I should install besides prime95 for stress testing? Thanks I could not have built this machine or learned what I know now (which isn`t much) without this forum.

Any suggestions or tips would be great. :hello:

Just make the blck 200 with no other tweaking and hope it gives you a stable 4ghz and that your computer doesn't explode.
