So, do I upgrade to windows 10, or keep my rig on 7? I got the tech review on my laptop and its running ok. works better with a mouse than 8, but...

You'll need Window's 10 to use DX12. So unless you're banking on GLNext to do what DX12 can you won't have much of a choice if you're a performance junky.

As you might guess for a case this tight, thermals are OK but not great. The CPU does fine, but the the GPU runs a bit hotter than I'd like -- though it's stable and doesn't seem to have any heat-soak issues. I may duct the GPU's impeller to try and help a bit. My biggest concern is that my HDD sits nearly in contact with the GPU's shroud, and with that thing sitting at 93°C for hours at a time, I wonder if it's affecting the drive's longevity. No issues yet, though.
whats your gpu on load temp?

@WarrenPeace, I like it. I too have recently moved back from uni (although I just finished my degree, so I was in a student house rather than a dorm), and I too have a tall big black tower. I call mine Bertha, on account of her being a big black thing hunk o' metal. I'd take pictures, but I don't have a camera...
