I have coretemp and will run it again when I get home, however Everest also monitors my core temperatures. My idle temps on all cores are in the high 30's (38-39). Load temps on my cores has never risen above high 50's unless I forget to turn on the cabinet fans. The highest I have seen my core temps ever was 65-68 range (about a 2-3 deg range between core 0 and 3) when I didnt have my cabinet fans on.

I have my fans setup through Rivatuner to dynamically change as the temps change. The highest my fans will go is 80% and thats rare. It usually hovers around 70%. I prefer not to max the fans constantly for better longevity.
I've used EVGA Precision before - good program but I found it a bit limited. I use Everest to pipe to my G15 LCD. I monitor CPU utilization, Temps and speed as well as GPU temps, Ambient temps, GPU speed, RAM utilization, Hard Drive Temps, etc...

So i got mine today but I am having some issues with the crossfire 4850 cards
I tried to enable crossfire in the catalyst manager but when I rebooted it was off again

I unistalled the video drivers but when i try to install the latest ones in the middle of installing it says "installation manager error"

I've got one coming with 4850's too, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know if I have the same problem. They go through a "TESTING" phase, you'd think DELL would check for these issues.

Awesome! Is it stable otherwise? What are the temps coming out of the two 4850's? Any Idea of what brand they are?

Mine was supposed to arrive today but it changed this morning and said it was damaged during shipping and has to be sent back[:'(]. Any ideas how dell deals with this? Do they build a whole new one and does it get prioritized? Who should I call about this?

1 thing I will certainly say is that its REALLY QUIET
I was expecting more noise than this and so far its kick noise wise and the CPU absolutely screams.
i got the 965 with 6gb ram and dual raptors - man this things is fast.
If anything I may upgrade the 4850s to something better down the road but I think I will be happy for a long time if its stable

How do I get Dell to stop sending me emails every time someone posts to this thread?

when you make a reply, at the bottom there's a checkbox that says "email me replies to this post".... just uncheck it.

Mikebeatrice - that is helpful for future posts, but the forums give me an error whenever I try to edit an old post, or edit my profile, so I'm stuck with my inbox being filled up.

I am wondering if the random shutdown, reboot, and failure to boot to Vista has been solved? I have a XPS 730x H2C i7-965 with 6GB Ram and a nvidia GTX280 1024 MB video card. It has just started to randomly reboot. Upon shutting down, it will not boot back into the OS. The power turns on, the fans start, but it does not transfer into the POST. There have been some discussions on temps, I am not sure this is the case. In trouble shooting, as usual, I have reseated all of the cards, Hard Drives and memory. I have wiped the initial HD, re-installed the OS (without the Dell programs), with the same results. I work in Computer Forensics, and this seems like a CMOS/BIOS or Motherboard issue. Is Dell investigating this situation and has a solution been implemented. I am due to have another system delivered this week. I am hoping the problem does not repeat itself, or I will be sending the XPS 730X H2C back for a refund, and I will be getting the Falcon Northwest Mach V. The XPS 730X H2C would be an excellent platform if this problem was solved.
