    FX 6300 Cooling

    Updated results with the EVO 212 fitted. Room temp is 4c higher than the last test and I've had to remove one of the case fans from the side panel to make room for the EVO so I think the updated results are pretty impressive. TMPIN0 is 15c cooler TMPIN1 (still don't know what that is) is...

    FX 6300 Cooling

    Just had a discussion on the MSI forum and an admin there is telling me that the TMPIN1 is in fact my actual CPU temp so now I'm confused because *IF* that is the case then 69c is way above the recommended safe temperature. I'm going to install my 212 evo tomorrow (if it will fit under the PSU)...

    FX 6300 Cooling

    FX 6300 Cooling

    Hi, thanks for the reply, that's what I thought and that matches up with the load temps that AIDA64 is showing. TMPIN0 - CPU TMPIN2 - Motherboard TMPIN1 - AUX So what is TMPIN1 showing at 69c ? If my CPU temp under load is in fact 47C then I won't even bother with an aftermarket cooler.

    A few questions on a new build

    Excellent, thanks for the advice.. For the price he want plus the extras I will need there is not much in it price wise between the PC and a next gen console so I guess I am headed back to PC gaming. One last question, looking at the total power draw for the CPU 95w and the GPU 475w am I...

    A few questions on a new build

    Ah thanks, I never thought of that, Will the 280x conflict with the integrated GPU on the A10 or just override it?

    A few questions on a new build

    Hi guys/gals. I left PC gaming behind when the 360 launched, but now neither of the new consoles interest me so I'm looking at returning and have a few questions on a possible build. My cousin purchased a load of parts to build his own PC then decided to buy a PS4 instead and is willing...
