barch88 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 I just got done building my rig, and I'm currently installing Windows. c I have a few questions...in BIOS, my CPU Temp was around 34-35*C and my North Bridge was around mid-40's. I had a questionable install with my Dark Knight heatsink, and I was unsure of if I put to little, or too much thermal compound. I'm wondering, once its all up in running, what should I do to really test it out and make sure everything is running correctly? What kind of temps are considered safe? Any tips? My build: Antec 1200 ASUS Rampage II Extreme w/ XiFi Sound Card Intel Core i7-920 w/ XIGMATEK Dark-Knight heatsink and Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste (2) Sapphire Radeon HD 5770's in CrossfireX 6GB of Corsair Dominator DDR3 Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB (2) Western Digital Raptor 74GB Corsair HX850W Samsung 22X DVD Burner All the fans seem to be running great, and the fan speed controllers/LED's all work correctly. Thanks for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Good luck with the rig, I would suggest at least starting with OCCT to do some stability testing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
