Hi guys,
I completed building my PC a month back. I have a X3 720BE and a AM2+ board. I noticed that my CPU touches 35 to 40 deg celcius while idle and goes upto 50 on load. I live in Chennai and the place where my PC is the corner of the room. No AC. Room temperatures are moderate.
So, I guess the temps are normal. I havent updated the bios. Maybe the sensors are wrong. What do you think guys..
Anyway, I intend to bring the temps down. I will surely OC after a few months. Could you suggest any decent HSF..Budget 3k max. (Wouldnt mind going the extra bit if its really worth it)
One more thing. Could you also tell me what are the tests (stability tests, performance tests, etc..) you would normally perform once you build a PC..
