Hello,

I have recently assembled a system. The hardware Monitor from SOYO shows CPU temp at 45C idle; Chaisis at

First, dont trust hardware monitors on the mb BIOS. Get MBMonitor5 instead and configure the sensors for your mb: http://mbm.livewiredev.com/

45c is high but not dangerous. Is it one of those compact Soyo cases with the PS hovering right over the CPU? You may want to add some case fans.

Did you buy everything at Tigerdirect, or just the fan? Just wondering. I hope you're not waiting for a rebate.

You should be fine, but you need to find out what it runs while using 100% of the processor's power. The Prime95 torture test is great for that, as are a few other things. As long as you keep the cpu temp below ~60-65C, you will be alright.
