Apparently, when trying to change the show hidden files and folders, it reverts. I attempted to do it in the registry too. Failed, so Iv got something screwing me here.

Alright got it worked out, ramped the speed to 35% im sitting at 46c idle instead of 73c, the noise is bearable.

A great upgrade if you cant stand the noise ( Like me. Too used to pentium 4 1.7ghz, radeon 9200. 2 fans. So quiet) you can get the Zalman VF1000. Drop your temps lower and its quiet.

Mine gets here tomorrow!
