Heh.... At stock settings Everest just plain reboots now after trying to launch after the install.... Not sure what the deal with that is. It's Everest Ultimate 4.0 if anyone else wants to know or is having the same issue.

As for my NB temps. I'm starting to question what is really acceptable and what isn't. By default the BIOS has 'NB not fully on until 55C'. I have it cranked down so the fan runs full speed constantly anyway.... Just an observation. When i was running the system at stock speeds/volts the NB temp was still ~40C at idle. I'm starting to think i've got a bum chip that just runs hot. At least it's stable at 3.6 (8x450FSB). I would like to be able to try for more but the temps concern me. Going to tear it apart and redo everything this weekend.
