I just recently built my computer and while i was playing SWTOR it hit the cpu threshold of 72c was wondering if it should have gotten that high while i was playing for several looooong hours. Note i havent made any changes to cpu since install. Should i manual set my cpu fan speed to high rpm?

Cool, let's hope that works. I have the TPU switch too, but I've never used it, since I don't really trust it (my strong dislike of Auto "things" again, haha). It does the same thing as OC Tuner in the BIOS though (no need to actually flip the switch to make it work).
contacted asus about the missing LED light, they going to be sending me a new motherboard. they are worried that something else might be missing that can cause other problems. I didnt even request it, they offered. crazy..
