Not sure if this is normal on the stock cooler but I'm hitting 76c easily while updating and putting stuff on.

check the voltages
a bit warm but depends on what you are doing the stock cooler is poo

Ramps up to 1.45v. I'm sure that's not normal.

uu yea fix that ... should't be more then 1.150 at stock 1.45 is way over red line
abort installation immediately and fix it
make sure any auto-overclocking is disable and set the vcore/mutli to manual

PM'd you.

Thanks to @OneMoar coming to my rescue again, I'm not hitting 95c on Google Chrome. Bumped the VCore down to 1.15v from 1.45v and we'll see how it runs. If it's not stable then I'll bump it up just ever so slightly.

OneMoar · Dec 11, 2014

the question still remains why the board was setting 1.45V on auto
@cadaveca

Toothless · Dec 11, 2014

1.16v is the sweet spot. No crashes as of yet and updates are getting done!

Naito · Dec 11, 2014

Did you "Load Optimized Defaults" once it was all together? 1.45V is definitely too high for an auto setting.

No pics of the final setup? :ohwell:

Hang on. I'm getting there. :roll:

congrats on the new build.

Thank you all who have dealt with me while I've been a member for this forum. From melting laptop power bricks to baking heatsinks. This is my first Intel-based desktop and oh my god I love it.

Any reason for having the back two fans blow in? Ordinarily these are exhaust.

Intake for the GPU and onto the southbridge.

its most likely hurting temps
all you need in that case is two intake on the front and one rear exaust

Now that's a nice rig. :toast:

Lightbulbie said:

It's not completely illogical. The front of that case seems it would extremely restrict airflow not only because of its closed up front, but also the drive bay. Unfortunately he can't just place a 5.25" drive bay fan mount (again because of the closed nature of the front), best bet would be maybe take a Dremel to the side of a case, cut a fan hole or two, get some fan grilles, perhaps some silicon washers, and have that as an intake, and rotate rear fan for exhaust.

EDIT: Could even plan it as such that a magnetic Demci filter would cover the fans. If want to keep noise to a minimum, maybe cut a hole to mount a 120/140mm intake fan on bottom using a similar method.

Toothless · Dec 11, 2014

Or I could just start cutting holes for 120mm fans into the side panel and mount fans onto that. Another hole at the top between the disk drive bays and PSU. enough space for a fan there.

Amazingly enough, I know how to use power tools. Table saws are pretty fun to use.

@Lightbulbie What is the VID for stock speed full load on your i7?

Oi. Sorry if can't reply due to the fact that I was kicked off the network for a week. Unless I can get $20 or an Xfinity Wifi login, I'm kinda stuck.
