I generally get concerned when my temps start to approach 60C even though I know they're made to take temps much higher than this — especially the newer chips. The amount of power these new chips require is hardly worth the cost just to get it to run a few Hz faster and pretty much amounts to...

Admittedly, I also have my preference. I would not go so far as to say that I'm an Intel fan boi but there was once a time when that's all I would buy.

I always knew there was something special about you. :clap: You're a runner up for the Darwin award! Anyway... I'm just north-east of the Rockies here, in Kanuckistan. 7:47 pm as I type this. I really did look for a Rumour thread before I generated one. Here's another refresher:
