hey guys, I've just put together a new comp with the following specs, 6hours into priming it at this very moment
E6300 @ 3.15g (450x7, 1.312v) cooled by a Tuniq Tower 120
Asus P5B-Deluxe
SuperTalent DDR2-800 1g x2
ATI Radeon x1300 256MB
Its all priming great and all.. but I'm seriously worried about the temps and I've been searching but couldn't find a definitive answer.
CoreTemp is reporting 32C/59C on the E6300, but when I touch the tuniq tower, its not nearly as hot as the one in my other opty165 rig o/c'd to 2.6g, which reports 45-47 with ITE Smart Guardian.
That aside, the Northbridge on the P5B is scorching, as is the RAM and the X1300. I'm a bit concerned, and my question is, is the passive cooling on the NB enough? What is the max temp the NB can handle? should I be worried?
Another thing is that whenever I try to restart my comp, it gives me a Post beepcode error (1long followed by 3short) and my screen stays blank while the machine itself is on. I'm assuming this means an error with the graphics, and like I said before its really hot (x1300 also has passive cooling).
I try to switch it on again and the same happens, only after I let it sit and cooldown for a while can I switch the machine back on. This only happens if I try to restart it, its been priming for 6hours now, NB hot, X1300 hot, Ram hot, and not showing any abnormality.
Bottom line is, should I be concerned about the heat (on NB and on the x1300).
