Thx for the upgrade advice in my earlier threads fellas. I put together the new system ( EVGA 680i mb, E660 CPU and an 8800 GTX vid card) and my question is: should I be feeling quite alot of heat coming from my comp? I have plenty of airflow, with a Zalman CPU fan, and it feels alot warmer than my old crappy computer. Do your high end comps emit alot of heat? Also, I usually leave my comp running 24/7. Do you recommend I turn it off at night?
 
put it on standby, saves more energy than turning off

and yes your components will produce allot more heat. although you have allot better cooling, this is why your feeling the "dissapated/exausted" heat.
 
Feeling a lot of heat coming out is a good thing. The heatsinks are working, and the components are being cooled properly.

The 8800GTX is probably releasing the most heat.
