Asus p8z68-v Intel

[moto46]

Hi -

I just recently assembled an Asus p8z68-v with the following hardware:

Intel i5 3.10 Ghz
Corsair 1600 Mhz DDR3 (2) 4GB modules
1.5 7200RPM SATA HD
350 Watt Power Supply
Windows 7 64Bit

Everything seems to be working fast but I noticed when it's installing an application the software that was included with the board pop's up with a warning message saying the CPU is at 72-75 Centigrade.

Will that be an issue in the future of the system running into overheating problems?

Thanks
Stephen

Go into your BIOS and check the temp in there. It's possible you didn't get your CPU fan installed properly. 72C is extremely hot.

I had to unmount the fan with heat sync then remount it. I guess initially I did not mount it flush on the processor. I am glad the board shuts down when it gets too hot in the BIOS. It was reading 82+ C. Now it's reading 32C.
