Oh my, for some reason my CPU is at 100% and the OCCT has just closed down and I cant open it, cant see it in the task bar manager as well! :S

If it is staying at 100%, I would restart your system.

New to Windows 7 it was hiding from me haha.
Its a constant 69-70.15, think I should stop it till I get a branded CPU cooler then try it again?
Not to sure about the voltage, Vcore 1.38 3.3V 12V 12.80

Ah, good stuff. If you want the taskbar to behave a bit more like vista/XP, you can right-click on the taskbar > properties, for "taskbar buttons" select "never combine" - thats what I use.
Yea, best to stop now - it should be OK for short term general use as few application stress the CPU as much as OCCT, but I would certainly invest in a quality CPU cooler ASAP. It will not only get your temps down, but make everything much quieter and allow you to try your hand at overclocking.
That voltage doesn't seem too bad, however if you want to try reducing it incrementally (running OCCT for a while every time you change it) then you will be able to find the lowest stable voltage for your current configuration. This will run cooler and use less power, but takes a bit of time.
