CoreTemp

Wow, thanks for the heads-up about that. I had a feeling something was off somewhere. I wonder if the issue is with the BIOS (I have a DS3L like you), such that a BIOS update would make the temps report properly, or if it's something with Coretemp not recognizing the new wolfdales.

CoreTemp

I also wonder if there is some issue with Coretemp reading high. I have an E8400, arctic freezer 7 pro in an antec P180b case, and I'm getting an idle temperature of 49C consistently with Coretemp. I tried disabling the fan speed control in the BIOS (so that the fan runs at max speed...

Just ordered my E8400!!

I needed to contact my credit card to have them authorize a shipping location that was different than the billing location. I called the CC, set it up, and then emailed them back. Got a shipping notification a few hours later.

Turns out my order was lagging a bit because they needed authorization for the shipping address. It shipped out today...new computer this weekend here I come!

Yeah, I got a confirmation email that the order was placed. I still haven't gotten a shipping notification yet. I might just be too used to Newegg's fast shipping-- does mwave usually lag on their orders?

I ordered my E8400 from mwave yesterday and I haven't gotten any shipping/processing info yet. Is it time for me to get on them about it?

please look over my new build

Hmm, I didn't notice that about the sound card. I just thought the R in DS3R meant that it had RAID. It looks like the DS3L has the Realtek ALC888 while the DS3R has the Realtek ALC889A in it... I can't seem to find any reviews mentioning sound quality though. Does anyone know anything...

Would there be any advantage in springing for a more expensive board? Oh yeah, and that Gigabyte board will support the new Wolfdales, right?

I'm going to be building a new computer next week, as soon as the E8400 is available online. My trusty XP 2500+ is starting to show its age, so it's time to upgrade. I've been lurking on these forums for a while, and I just want to get some feedback to make sure that I'm buying the right...
