Due to personal reasons & serious depression :-/, I've decided my only alternative at this point was a new build, what do you think ? There is one [highlight]possible[/highlight] flaw in my hardware- where is it? [I will also get to remove the Emachines title on bottom!]

i notice two things that you should consider.

1: NEVER use the stock intel cooling, its just a round chunk of aluminum with a fan that slows down as it gets hotter.

2: make sure you have a coolant fan of some kind on the hard drive, or it will get pretty toasty.

nice choice of chipset though, Nforce4 rules! i have the same chipset in my system, rock solid, though it does run a bit warm... i am running a pentium D 805 dual core 2.66ghz w/ 1mb per core (2mb total). instead of a p4. it was cheaper, only cost me about ninety bucks.I guess / hope it's all in your preparation and installation technique* maybe .... :-/

[highlight]Pro’s:[/highlight] Stock heatsink is fine. No extra needed, Cons: None - in properly cooled case and room, stock fan will provide adequate cooling. I have installed hundreds of cpu's with this heatsink and fan. You just have to install it correctly.,
Pros: Amazingly stable, able to burn DVDs while playing Battlefield2142 in the foreground without a hitch. Great warranty, and the Intel site has tons of free and useful utilities. Idles at 34C, full flat out load temp is at 41C. < that is questionable ?
Cons: None after 2 months!
Other Thoughts: The stock cooler is fine, but I removed Intel's thermal tape and applied a dab of Arctic Silver 5 instead, and got a 4-6C drop in temps. , My case has good airflow so I don't get any heat issues
Mine is overclocked to 3.8 and still hasnt broke 35 C, although my tower makes more noise than the average bear because it has 6 fans....Ill sacrifice the small amount of noise, to have a lightning overclocked pentium 4 running low temps any day of the week. Cons: ummmm.... NONE! maybe too fast for slow people You Must Buy This Product!!! Other Thoughts: This chip is design to run overclock, it will do 4.02ghz easy with the stock voltage. I have two currently running at 4.02ghz (237x17), and they're super fast no need for anything higher than that. Pros: Great processor, behaves like a dual core half the time, and runs as stable and fast as I've ever seen a processor in this class run. Great buy.

[highlight]Cons: [/highlight]cooler is grossly inadequate, HEAT. I almost blew the CPU running 3DMark03 during the CPU Test
My advice is to order a good aftermarket heatsink/cooler and some artic silver 5 to go along with this CPU
Runs a little hot with stock HS/Fan, $50-100 cpu fan and you're set,,
Cons: Stock heat sink and fan actually work OK but a Zalman heatsink makes a world of difference.
Cons: Attachment of Intel Fan and Heatsink. After engaging the push PINS into the motherboard, you need to lock each one in place by using your thumb to push down with extreme force, followed by two faint clicks as the locks engage, just before your new MoBo snaps in half. If your MoBo is still in one piece and your thumb is sore following installation, your new CPU shouldn't overheat. A little disappointed with the stock cooler though Cons: It's just the damned stock fan. Other Thoughts: runs at 203 degrees F at idle!
Did not use the stock/retail heatsink.,, Comments: OK 1) If you build your own computers anyone should know by now that you should replace the stock fans on Intels. CPU itself is good but Intel continues to ship sub-par fans and cooling devices with its CPUs.
Comments: I've built countless intel systems. I know how hot these new chips normally run. I just built a system for a client with this chip and its idle at 37C and peaked at 49C running super pi WITH THE STOCK HSF AND THERMAL PAD!!!! I know this is rare for these things but its rocking. The side DUCT in the antec case I have it in helps a lot as well. I'm very impressed with this chip.
Looking good.
I was about to say your CPU may prove a bit of a bottleneck when you have SLI, but I see it's OC'd to 3.8, so forget that.
Basically, it looks awesome, and it'll be even better when you have the second GPU.
And very upgradeable too, a Core 2 Duo (or better, Core 2 Quad) will fit in nicely one day.
Great build.
