Yeah I custom build PCs, on my 16th one here, I use artic silver 5 on most of my rigs.

I may change the PSU to a Topwer Gold 420W - buts its a low end rig I'm running on.

Strangely enough I did alot of imaging last night, not one crash, but PHD seemed uncommonly jerky (on 5 minute exposure stars look like binary twins)! What settings to folk recommend for PHD (aggressiveness of settings, frequency of guide corrections, duration of pulse etc). I typically run corrections from .5 to 5 seconds, dependent on how good tracking seems.

Mind you I think the DSI I use rotated about 40 degrees clockwise during teh night - that may have stuffed things up considerably!
