Well I do not have a temp probe, but MSI is reporting the CPU at 30C under idle and IOH at 81C in the BIOS

I immediately finger tested, and the chipset is very warm (common on these boards I understand) so I propped a 80MM on the 4890 and stuck it into the hammer blowing straight down on the chipset cooler, and temps dropped ~7C immediately.

WinFLP installed in about 28 minutes (full install), Installing v64 now, and W732 RTM after that. Not going anywhere tonight till drivers and tweaks are loaded. Then I will take another peak at the bios. Lots of new cuss words in there I am sure

Oh yah, I also picked up a toaster real cheap so I can swap my 1TB software/drivers hdd back and forth between my main rig and my new play rig
