i2500K OC with auto-voltage

Im curious how efficient/effective it is to use "auto" vcore voltage when OCing an i2500K? I left everything at default and upped the multiplier to 45. I prefer auto because of the benefits of low vcore while idling. Vcore whilst running prime95 = 1.28 volts (When i was at 4.3 with auto (1.24...

heatsink mounted properly?

I just switched cases to an Antec 900 thus i removed my heatsnik (xigmatek s1283?). My idle temps with my E8400 at 3.8 GHz 1.352V are 33/36. What baffles me is that Core 1 never changes temp while in idle: stays at 36. whereas my other core seems to flucuate. When i load prime 95 up, both cores...

Why are you getting such a beast video card and you are only getting a 17" monitor. Would you buy a 7900GTX and use it on a 19inch or a 17 inch for that matter.
