I'm running a Pentium D 820 + at 90C (yes you've read it right, 90C) & 1 Gb Transcend Value ram with no heat spreader.Also worth mentioning about the world's most crappiest case with "zero" ventilation.

Atleast you have a dualcore =(...I'm on a 3.2 prescott single..lol. But that is a bit hot...You might want to reset your heatsink with some new thermal paste. Or is that how hot they get? my 3.2 prescott is at 52 load with this tuniq tower I have on it, but that's during cold days..During hot days I'm around 58-60. =(..They are indeed hotty buggers. 

 

That temperature is way too hot. Are you overclocking? I got creeped out when I overclocked my dads Core 2 Duo with the stock cooler and it went up to 80C. I just shut down the test after that.

 Nice giveaway!  I'll put my down for a 0.025% chance of being the lucky one.  Though, at this point, odds are highly stacked against me.

Awesome count me in

Awsome name!...That was the best show ever! Although I have some sad memories as well..When my big bro took my captain planet action figure and hurled it into the pool with all his strength. It hit the concrete side and it shattered into 6 piehces .... [:'(]

"... with our powers combined..."lol

hahaha..

I feel sorry for Quami man, he had the jankiest power of them all. There was wind, fire, earth, and water....he gets heart?...He can speak with animals?..aaaahahahaha. But I must admit, if he was a assassin...it'd be a bad ass ability. Talking with posion critters, sending them into the mark's house..MWHAHA...I could have a army of black mamba's >D

Very nice piece of hardware, I for one would certainly like to take this home to play with.......

Only thing I can say is WOW.

That is one hell of a system.  Definatly die to get that under my desk for some 3D Animation work.  Might actually make me get back into doing that as Dual core system can only do sooo much at one time.  Thats insane.

Mmmmm Power

When the contest 1st came about I thought that randomly chosing a winner was fair enough, but had an idea of my own that I think is actually great considering the magnitude of the prize.

Have users write a short essay(maybe 500 words or so)explaing both why they think they should win and what they would do with the rig if they won.

If you think this is a great idea too, say so and maybe... just maybe the admins might take notice. If they stick with their original plan though I'll totally understand because the contest is already in motion and changing the format now might come off as kinda sketchy if you know what I mean. Still I think my idea has merit and could possibly be implemented in a future contest because after all... forums are all about communicating by writting.

I'd agree that something along a short essay might be ideal for contests like this.  Not that the essay would win the overall contest but writing an essay and it being on the subject would be idea for an entry point to the contests.

That tempature is definatly quiet warm.  At that temp it should be near throttling the CPU.  Surely this moster of a system under load will probably get into the mid 60's and low 70's quiet easily though.

Thanks for acknowledging my idea death and welcome to HotHardware!

I noticed you're from Wisconsin... I got family in Milwaukee!!!

NP Yeah I'm located in the Milwaukee area.  Haven't left yet but would love to move somewhere just a bit warmer :)

Everyone just wrap it up! the winner just registered

Is that so?

Welcome to HotHardware jp!

 

I have had my eye on that motherboard for some time now I even held up on building a new rig waiting for it. it is great to know the wait is almost over.

Use serial attached SCSI if you want faster, personally I'd rather wait for SSD's to come down in price.

Wow, what a great prize, would be fantastic to win, being on a fixed disabilty income am always a hardware generation or two behind the curve and usually around the middle tier. This puppy should be able to handle things for sometime to come.

Though don't know if my weakened constitution could handle the shock of actually winning this thing. Though hopefully would only render me "Not quite dead yet and getting better"

Only wish I posted more to better the chances...but that I don't is a good thing, get addled easily these days and would seem like I were typing in tongues.

Thanks for sponsering such a great contest.

Very best of Luck to all who enter, hopefully cheaters can be screened out.

I've been drooling over this mobo since the info came out. I think I would give an apendage to own this rig

More people signing up ^_^...Welcome aboard guys..
