Mot according to the WAIK documentation. Which is apparently completely useless.

Yup, always at the root and I tried autounattend.xml Autounattend.xml and AutoUnattend.xml. Needless to say it never worked properly.

It is when I force it (and it works... partially). It isn't loaded automatically. Pretty much as stated in the post. That was fixed by a Hotfix/Vista SP1 (can't find the link right now). Now it should only affect upgrades (not interested in Ultimate, and when there's a new windows I'll do a...

want to install windows 7 with both the ProfilesDirectory and the ProgramData on my D: partition, but I've run into a series of problems: 1. When I run the installer from booting the DVD, the autounattend.xml is ignored (I tried various usb ports for my flash drive) 2. When I run the...

I don't mind the higher idle temps (40° really isn't any problem at all) and I'd much rather have those than more noise, the problem was (which seems to be mostly solved, although still not as good as I'd hope) the high temperatures under load. I mounted the HSF inside the case again, and it...

I finally received my thermal paste & cleaning supplies (along with two S-Flex fans, which although quieter than the lian-li ones have more of annoying high-pitched sound instead of the "rumble" of the lian-li fans...). I removed all the previously applied thermal paste, applied the silver 5...

Yeah, I'm probably going to order some better thermal paste. Anyways, what do you guys think of that Scythe stabilizer? (And maybe also this case fan http://www.alternate.de/html/product/Gehaeuse_Luefter/Enermax/UCMA12_Magma/286155/?baseId=146170 which seems pretty good)

"micro center"? Is that some shop? In any case, it's unlikely we have one around here (germany). Besides, I went to the 2 local computer shops I know, and they both only had the aforementioned spire stuff and I'm pretty sure there are no other computer shops nearby. So, no chance to get any AS5...

You get 40-45° idle (with cpu clocked lower and voltage lowered), 80° at ~50% (at full clock and 1.2V) and your TJmax is reached long before 100% load is reached with water cooling????

I was at two local computer shops today and the only thermal paste i could find was this cheapo Spire Sp-420 stuff rated at <0.06°C-in²/W. Is it even worth trying with that stuff? For comparison: Arctic Silver 5 is rated at <0.0045°C-in²/W. Also, I wasn't able to find any appropriate cleaning...

You sure about that? Most of the guides (at least those i found) to installing these push-pin coolers seem to recommend doing it after mounting the mainboard. Besides my first, failed attempt was "outside the box" and mounted in the case it at least seemed easier (though it didn't do any good...

BTW: about the voltages: in idle my CPU is clocked down to 333x6 and the voltage is lowered at the same time

If it didn't go over 71°C under a 30% load I wouldn't be complaining... I don't mind 40°C at idle but it shouldn't be overheating under load...

I think so too. I have been trying to find an official intel document stating the correct voltage, but was unble to find any... Will do that tomorrow if possible (and if I find a local shop around here that sells thermal paste...)

I believe you read the wrong sig ;-) BUT I actually am running the Q9550 at 1.2V because thats what the VID says (IIRC) and what my mobo automatically set. But again... shouldn't the stock cooler work correctly without undervolting??
