MSI NEO2 New build

[RadioHead84]

Ok i have a 3500AMD64, corsair xms xl,and a 6800gt.

I have some questions...

How long should it take to boot into windows with a 160 WD SATA

My case temp says like 90 F and tahts not in the hot spot..is that bad?

The board temp says 18 C for system temp and 58 C for CPU temp using the Cool and Quite Utility..


are all these alright..Thx!

58C does seem a little high for my taste. 52C is where I'm comfortable at full load. What CPU cooler do you use?

I get around 75F case temp with 2x80mm intake and 2x80mm outtake. Try removing the finger protector from your PSU, it will improve airflow; improved my temp by 2C.

I am using stock and using the windows utility that came with the MSI.

I bought a really big power supply..and didnt think it would have so manyc onnectorers and i dont know where to put them all.

MSI boards are very inaccurate at reading temps....more so than others.

Motherboard readings are never very accurate to begin with.

Outside of that, get some plastic tie downs, and orginize your cables for better airflow.
