server is back up,
of note due to testing the server will be slower than normal for next 48 hours, testing new heat sink details below
sorry for the down time swapped the heat sink, i was very disappointed with the one i had better than instal but a pain in the ass to install, and did not keep things cool enough
the heat sink i wanted was finally back in stock and not at a crazy 20 premium over its normal cost. it went back down to 29.99 form 49.99 everywhere Wednesday so the order was placed, and newegg had it to me Thursday despite me not paying for overnight shipping (way to go newegg)

the benefit of the new heat sink? the server idles 8c~ cooler and at full load is about 30c~ cooler. i also like its hum better,
right now i have returned the server to 4.4ghz OC, it had been running between 4 to 4.2 with world edit and pre world edit, but with bukkit, at stock (3.4 with turbo to 4.8) ... before bukkit it was moving around as i tried to find the OC limit on the old cooler it could run 4.4 but got a bit hot for my taste form time to time, 4.5 and 4.6 were unstable and too hot.
to make sure 4.4 is stable right now and the cooler is working im running prime 95 for the next 48 hours it will stress test the server. right now it looks like we should be just fine there
