So I just finished building my new computer. It's a maximus extreme with a q6600 cooled by a zalman 9700 in a cooler master 830. I put 2 120 thermaltake fans in the door (1 shooting air out at the top, in the space to the right of where the zalman in, and one diagonal from it on the bottom shooting air in).
My question is one that has probably been asked before. (I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a thread... my eyes are going after searching so many forums) What I'm wondering is wether or not my cpu temps will lower after the 200 hours or so arctic silver 5 says it needs to fully break in. Also, my q6600 is running at about 50 degrees celsius according to bios, is that about where it should be for my heatsink? (I can't check temps with anything else yet, as i'm still waiting on an OS lol) Ambient room temps are at about 60-70 farenheitieheioe.
