Here is another very informative article on temps.
In the end they promote their product a little
, but good info here.

Quote from Bolimomo:
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.
Since the push / pull I see cpu temps between 25 and
26 celcius. Thats not overclocked and normal use.
with the push only it was around 27 celcius last time
posted.
I just see the cooler regardless of push or
Push /pull doing its job and keeping cpu temps low under normal use.
So the cooler was an excellent choice and I thank you for your positive feedback on
it some weeks ago.
By the way that is one nice mb !
Just a note regarding cpu temps..
The asus probe is taking temps at the socket for the cpu.
This program I posted before

Wil take the cpu temps of each core.

Windows 7:
FYI:
OEM vs Full Retail:
OEM versions of Windows 7 are identical to Full License Retail versions except for the following:
- OEM versions do not offer any free Microsoft direct support from Microsoft support personnel
- OEM licenses are tied to the very first computer you install and activate it on
- OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
- OEM versions cannot be used to directly upgrade from an older Windows operating system
- OEM comes with either a 32 bit or 64 bit disk. The retail version contains both
- OEM can not be upgraded to the next version (Windows 8)
Btw, does anyone know any deals going on for the full retail version?

My personal experience is when you install the oem on a new mb it will tell you to get a new license key as the copy you have is not valid. It has an option to obtain a new key. Press yes and a new key is issued to you and the copy becomes vaild and the "invalid copy " watermark disappears in lower right corner.
The extra money spent on a regular copy may give a piece of mind when it comes to support if needed.
You may have met your match on this one, Oh, "Price King in the Hardware Area." Making a deal with the guy who has a firm grip on the testicles of the world, may be just out of your reach.
I agree, I have an OEM version and I'm also new to Windows 7 (from XP) so far I've found the answers to all my issues on these two sites, I highly recommend them.

Going back to the topic of a deal on Windows 7, I did find one. It seems that governments (local) and school systems can purchase OSs from MicroSoft at deep discounts. I know a guy who's an IT guy in our county and I'm going to try a copy of what they use (not sure what it includes, but it is 32 bit Windows 7). I wish I had more facts on this but I don't, I'll post more on this in the future.
..............or maybe not!. There's always a way to loosen that grip and if I can manage to do it the right way, it'll probably work out to be the best deal of them all. The final price should come to $30-40 for a LEGAL copy. I'd only want a legal one for this as I hate being interrupted whilst trading. If it works, I would be more than willing to share it via PM or phone (it'd be nice to put a voice to the words).
