Well got everything in and Hooked up my new pc last night into the late hours of the morning. LOL. Got windows all back up to date started installing my programs again. Only running This CPU at its default settings.
Just did a stress test with prime95 and my core temps never went above 49C. So seems pretty stable at Default right now.
Will up it to 4.0 GHZ with a Multiplier adjustment once I get back from work and see what happens then.
So far so good. Oh and my windows Experience test are pretty high too other then the hardrive which seems to be the bottleneck now lol. Maybe.
Proccessor 7.5
Memory 7.8
graphics 7.8
Gaming 7.8
Primary Hard disk 5.9
Not sure but my low score for harddisk might be because I am also doing a Backup restore for about 10 games for steam LOL. And its taking forever. Funny thing is I don't even really notice it, like its not happening.. But it might be just enough to mess with the test. I will try again when steam is done and I get home. Before uping the CPU to 4.0
Also My primary drive is SATA 3 1 TB
But I also have my backup drive that is 500 GB and is SATA but I believe its older SATA SLower.
If windows is counting both hardisk then the older one will almost certainly kill my score.. Even though it has nothing to do with the Main drive and is only a backup disk that I put some things on.
Oh and Toyota The ram fit fine. Channel 1 and 2 are actually the 2 Slot near the back. Channel 3 and 4 are the ones closer to the heat sink. And your correct the ram I have would not fit if I had to use those other slots because the fan actually is about 1 inch to low of that number 4 slot. I guess if you wanted to you could raise the fan though. Its only the fan thats in the way not the heat sink.
But right now it works, If I wanna update to another 8 gigs I would have an issue then.
My new Video Card seems to be running about 57C and Im not doing anything really. Not sure if it should be that High. Thats using HW Monitor. I installed it on the PCI that is closest to the CPU. Should I bring it down to the 2nd PCI slot and see if that will cool it down a bit and get it away from that heatsink a little? Also just to note at this time its hooked up to my Computer monitor and also running on my HDTV LCD TV. Since we just got done watching a movie before I wrote this. But the temp has not come down for the GPU.
Oh and last but not least. The MB is so much smaller then my last one, there is so much room now in my case.. Even the graphics card is smaller now. I even fit most if not all the wires in the back MB space that is on the other side of the case. Its like wide open spaces now.
1 fan in back going Out
1 Fan on Top Going out.
1 Large fan on side housing Going out.
1 Fan in front case near hardrives going in.
Seems to work good.
OK UPDATE ON THE GPU I just shut down my TV LCD display on the computer and the temps started to fall like rock. Down to about 38C at this time.. Might still be falling.
