Thanks man! I had to mess with the Ide / AHCI / Marvel mode settings to get my hard drive to work when I first booted my machine (it wasn't seeng my HD by default when i first booted) so maybe i tweaked something? I'll try to mess with it. Question: is there a way to set some ports to...

Asus P8Z68 -V Pro ok I just put my new computer together: I swiched over my DVD drive from my old PC that worked fine in there. Now my dvd drive is not reading any discs. I can Boot from a Windows CD fine but once in the OS the drive is listed but is not reading any discs -- I put a disc...

I would like to convert my old hard drive that was used as my primary windows boot drive into a regular storage drive. The plan is to use my new 120 gb SSD as my primary boot and use the old one as a fresh clean empty storage drive. How would erase the windows format off the old one? Oh...

I ran Prime95 last night for about 7hrs Got 0 warnings/errors. Max core temps at 100% load: Core0 60 c Core1 60 c Core2 55 c Core3 55 c Are these average temps at 100% load? could i OC my cpu to 3Ghz with these temps safely? I use the extra memory for 3D animation/rendering...

Ok - I work in 3d animation just finished building my new comp, got win XP 64bit runnin with just 2 gigs @ in 1 slot -- my 64bit apps (3dsmax 64bit/softimage XSI 64bit) ran good, today i threw in another 2 gigs (total 4 gigs) and now they running a little sketchy ran memtest with no...

Yeah you read it right i was stupid and lesson learned :P Now i gotta put in my other 6 gigs of ram and up the voltage on the board to the ram -- should be fun :) And maybe later OC my cpu to about 2.8 Ghz. Questioin if I up the voltage to the memory will that increase my cpu temps...

Aother thing on Speedfan - What does Temp1 measure? is that system temp? I'm getting a little red arrow pointing up then it will turn into a flame (getting concerned about this). All my core temps a staying cool though. any thoughts? thanks! Black

I just downloaded speed fan and its reading my core temps at: Core #0-25 C Core #0-25 C Core #0-18 C Core #0-19 C Fan at 1184 rpm Is speedfan accurate? Thanks! Black

Report: Ok i put everything back together after cleaning the mess i made temps are now at: Current temps : Core #0-37 C Core #0-37 C Core #0-30 C Core #0-31 C Fan at : 1,036 rpm I'm guessing room temp is low to mid 70's, got the afternoon sun coming in -- i live in Florida. How...

Ok i seem to have fixed my cpu fan problem - I had to update my bios to get the fan to spin faster. Its now spinning in 1200ish range (idle). temps are still abit high though lower. I think its because i left the thermal paste that came with the Arctic freezer pro on and i used AS5 on the...

ok, all the push-pins on HS seem to be fine. Any other ideas on what could be causing this? And why is my cpu fan not spinning any faster? thanks! Black

ok i'll check out the HS. I'll keep you posted. thanks, Black

ok i turned the fan from auto to PWM in bios- Fans are now at - 460-465 rpm- seems like fan speed has gotten slower but core temps went down. any ideas?? Core temps are: Core #0-43 C Core #1-43 C Core #2-35 C Core #3-36 C EZ tune 5 says my system is set to "Turbo"...

how would i increase it? is the bios fan reading accurate? is there a way to check fan rpm speed in windows? thanks, black 104

okay, my EIST was disabled, but i enabled it in the bios. everything else was enabled. how long should i wait to see a change in cpu temperature? i've seen some people lap their heatsinks...is this necessary? i didn't do it on my arctic cooling pro. on the artic cooling pro, there are...
