I hope your PSU was reasonable if you're OCing a 95W CPU like that and running a 580GTX... that'll use a ton of power and unless the 12V rails are up to it, you might encounter some instability as heat increases. In fact, at 690W I'd be almost certain of it under heavy load. Just be mindful eh?

hey ben. its a 900w antec running multiple 12v rails at 40a

i wouldnt have even tried running the gtx 580 with my old power supply. its 12v rails were only 18a . i was only just capable of running the core components + the radeon 6950 even then it was pushing it. so i upgraded to a nicer antec power supply hopefully should be sufficient so far it doesn't even stress it at all and the voltages never drop even under full load whats a great sigh!

under full load
79 degrees yum. much better then the 90 degrees i have been hearing of people having

was just running a stress test not overclocked.
latter on might have to WC so i can overclock this badboy to 5GHZ
prime95 stress test stressing the cpu at 100pct load
