Hello TH.
So.
I just finished building my first computer and (amazingly) everything worked perfectly.
No issues in building, posted and booted first time, no issues as of yet.
I just have a few questions about checking that everything is running as it should and how it should.
(System is:
i7 930
Gigabyte X58A UD3R)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Temperatures.
Using SpeedFan for temps, this is what I have under minimal load. (Using Prime 95 no temps ever exceeded 55).
Temp 1: 33
Temp 2: 32
Temp 3: 43
Temp : -128
HD 1: 26
HD 0: 23
Core 0: 23
Core 1: 19
Core 2: 26
Firstly. Can anyone help me work out what each of those numbers refers to? :-/
Secondly, are they acceptable?
2. In my BIOS, my CD/DVD drive is being recognised as a slave to one of my harddrives.
Is this OK/normal?
(I have two masters and then the slave).
3. How do I check that my RAM is running at it's advertised speed?
I have read a lot about people saying that RAM resets itself lower by defauly, but I'm not sure where to check this or how to change it.
4. What sort of score should an i7 930 get on 3DMark06 (paired with a 5850)?
Thanks in advance.
