Sounds like I should just upgrade my chip instead of buying a whole new system. I haven't swapped in a new CPU in a motherboard since 1995 though... is it even possible to do anymore since I got this giant heatsink (Thermaltake CL-P0114) mounted by some sort of glue on it.
Also the system runs at 75 - 79 Celsius at max load as it is with the 2.66 INTEL i7-920 and that's not overclocked or in turbo mode even.
Would you swap in a new i7 like this:

Is this even compatable with my MB (ASUS X58 P6T SLI)
help appreciated
