So my comp started acting up and lagging a lot more than normal. I Dl'ed speedfan, and found my poor p4 3.0 was *idling* at 55C and gaming around 71-72C. So, I decided it's time to cool down and clean house.

Plus, tigerdirect was having a sale...

well Fook. I'm an idiot and didn't look at the boards. My old board was, shall we say, "craptastic."

20 pin power connector
4 pin fan power...

New one's 24 and 8, which means I need a PSU. My comp is currently gutted, laying on my floor. Trip to the computer store this afternoon, methinks.
