You mean "crypto prices plummet after Musk's tweet". That is what's going on.

You're contradicting yourself or don't understand the value of precise communication. That "triviality" is hundreds of megabytes per second. Yet you say replacing components with worse performing ones is bad. That "triviality" has the same effect.

You don't even need the shield in most cases ("most" because it has a slight effect on air flow).

That could be a power supply issue (not necessarily PSU tho, could be VRM too). Have you tried fiddling with loadline for example (because maybe the voltage drops too much under load)? I don't see what could cause BSODs after a certain *time*. Try stress testing, it's easier to debug max load...

Looks like a great choice for workstations.

@Chalabam, are you sure your connection isn't the issue? The images work fine where I am.

Consider getting a pair of 2GB sticks, that way you'll still have dual channel and more bandwidth.

The readings are not guaranteed to be correct. If nothing seems off (and this is your first data point instead of the indicated temp having been normal before) I'd ignore it as obviously wrong. Either that or you have a short in the fan.

Yes as far as width goes. Specs say the monitor is 24" wide which is 61 cm.

Also, the power cord. Speaking out of experience. :P

Heat is going to be a real problem when the 18 core SKUs come out regardless of Prime95. There are other AVX heavy use cases you know and the headroom will decrease with each additional core. Right now I'm quite satisfied that I went with Broadwell.

I'm willing to bet that WD's 80 GB drives were nowhere *near* the worst drive even in their era (*cough*Maxtor*cough*), and that's not even getting to drives that were mostly DOA (can't remember the mfr, they went bust shortly after).

@Blackbit75, I bet most sub-1080p displays are from phone browsers, and most of the rest are laptop screens, neither of which are relevant wrt add-on GPUs.
