I’m building a fairly high end computer for a friend and to be honest, its pretty much finished. The CPU (Core 2 Duo running at 3Ghz) runs a tad warm for my tastes but I guess 53c while thrashing at Prime95 and ATITools isnt that bad really. Especially not with the stock heatsink.
It also sucks that the 4Gb of memory only shows as 3.2Gb in Vista but that was to be expected. Hell, even the annoying little quarks I’ve run into with the 680i motherboard aren’t bad either; they just took time.
No, by far the most annoying thing I’ve run into was the new NVIDIA monitoring software. Who in the hell though that piece of crap should be published on the internet? Seriously, a spinning collection of your devices with the temperatures displayed below that takes about 2mins to cycle between devices and just plain locks up randomly?
Brilliant.
