So I have an AMD FX 6300 with a new Tower Cooler installed and I was just wondering if it's normal for HWMonitor to show my Package power consumption as fluctuating between 35-40W while Idle? Shouldn't it be a constant wattage all the time on idle? Wattage also seems to drop when there is more...

Hey all, so I've been playing insurgency for a while now and using hwmonitor with it recently to monitor my temps and such. looking at the gpu i noticed after about an hour of playing on high settings the gpu power percentage went all the way up to 107%. Max temps read as follows: CPU 38c GPU...

I have an AZZA EOS 204S Mid-Tower ATX case and was wondering if a CryoRig H7 or Coolermaster Hyper12 EVO will fit? The width of my case is right at about 7.5 inches
