BTW: Reschke didn't mention the manufacturer or model number of that nice blue case. It's a Chieftec AX-01BLD U2F 450W available for $89 on newegg.com.

There's got to be something wrong. I'm gonna try just the stock HSF that camewith the cpu.

That strikes me as very hot for an Intel cpu. The sonata is a great case, I would supect your Heat sink instalation.
