red930 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Hey all, new to the forums, just finished my new build (only some minor things left to get it where i want it). Just installed TT Bigwater 760is (I know it's not great but i got it for 70 new), running 40c idle what the heck? Seems to be a friendly forum here so I hope to become very active. Opinions/concerns about my build are welcome, having a bit of problems with stability even at stock speeds, would like to oc eventually once i get it running correct! Case: Thermaltake Armor+MX P/S: Ultra X3 850w Modular P/S MB: Asus M3N-HT Deluxe w/o mempipe CPU: AMD Phenom II 940BE@ stock (running at 40c idle, need help with that later!) Cooling: Thermaltake Bigwater 760is (above temps seem crappy even for this kit) Optical: Sony DVDRW _______ Mem: 4x2GB Corsair Dominator 8500 (w/ fan) GPU: 2x BFG GTX 285 OC 1GB in SLI HD: 4x Hitachi 1TB 7200rpm 16MB in RAID5 Sound: Logitech Z-2300 Monitor: Samsung P2370 Logitech G15 and G9 Keyboard/Mouse Edited May 25, 2009 by iRoMaNcE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 if the temps really bother you make sure the heatsink is on all the way and not cocked to the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekroze Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Welcome to OCC and the temps are not horrifying if you want something better then get/use/setup better. if you say you know its not a great cooler then why complain about temps, whats it run at load then you can find if you have reason to worry. anyways no negatives here even if it sounded like it mate, I'm glad your eager to get into the community and hope your build works out the way you want, Overclock included. Glad to have you and hope i be of assistance in the future. oh don't for get to Fold for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
