    I have been using the Intel heatsink and fan for the box1 and 2. Maybe I will install a Cooler Master push/pull heatsink on them to help out. :) Let me see what my box3 temperature read says.... (it's a MSI board with i7-950 plus overclocking)... I do have a Cooler Master on it.

    Looks like these CPUs can get up to 70-80C. That's hot! Enough to brew coffee! Maybe 50C is not that big a deal... Thanks for the link.

    On my MSI board (Big Bang XPower), there are 6 x PCIe X16 slots alright but I found that I could only use 4 cards up to x16 and no more.

    Downloaded PC Probe II. Does that look right? The CPU temperature on mine seemed kind of high! No wonder this room feels like a furnace! LOL

    There are quite a few utilities download kits on the ASUS website. Do you know which kit correspond to the CPU temperature program?

    I see... thanks for the tips. I have a couple of ASUS P6T boards. I will see if I can get the app to run for my board. Another board is MSI. Wonder if they have something similar.

    What a day! Volatility had gone back to the 2008 days. Yaaaaaaaaaaa! Haven't seen these kinds of rippy moves for a long time. Glad that my boxes and the laptop held up during market raids. If there is a good time to stress-test your equipment... next couple of weeks should be the time...

    Well we all need some contingency plan, especially those who trade for a living. That can be a second box, or an alternative venue to trade when the computer goes south. Can't let one box choke you. :) Keep the old one around just for that...

    How do I know if my computer is good enough?

    It does look like the computer is missing some data because either the network connection is not fast enough, or that the computer itself is not fast enough to process the data and turn it into a chart display. The Speedtest result should be close to what the vendor sold you. If the vendor...
