    Well, this is awesome.

    My computer has been shutting off... a lot lately.

    I have checked under CPUID, CoreTemp, and SpeedFan. All my cores are running at ~90 C idle. I hope my temp sensor is off...

    FML.

    This thread really isn't for that, but I'll help you anyway.

    Make sure there is good contact between the cooler and the CPU, and that there is enough thermal paste. Also make sure there is no dust in your cooler. And last of all, make sure that all of your fans in the computer are actually working, and that the computer is in an area where it gets good ventilation and there is good airflow in the case. If none of that works, I'd recommend taking it to your local PC repair place (NOT Best Buy or any other big commercial retailer, the local shops will always be better when diagnosing problems).

    Is the first page going to be updated with Intel's newly released Lynnfield platforms?
    I could imagine the Core i5 750 in place of the Phenom II X4 955. I also hear ATI HD5800 series coming up.

    Depends on what you are doing. The i7 975 is really extreme (no pun intended), as the 920 can easily be clocked up to match the stock performance of the 975, and then some, all at a fraction of the cost. You could really save a lot of money by doing that. Also, that GPU would bottleneck your CPU, but I digress, it is still a good GPU for just about everything.

    Would only save a couple hundred from downgrading the CPU to the 920. Plus I've heard that if you can afford them they are really nice. I get the Intel Extreme 975, the Intel motherboard, and the Intel 160 GB SSD all for around $950. Was wondering more about the non-Intel parts.

    As for the GPU my concern was mostly the size of the higher end GPUs since I don't know if it would fit into that case. I'm trying to build a smaller system. My last desktop was a 60 pound steel full tower.

    Are you going to wait for DirectX 11 graphic cards from both companies (Nvidia and ATI)? GeForce 300 and Radeon HD5000 series look promising.
