Thanks Raja; will try that...

Thanks Raja: Only AI Suite II latest version, as well as HW Monitor. 1) Could you recommend ONE program that I could use to measure and record overnight? 2) Is there a setting in the BIOS to turn OFF the PC if this 125C overheating *really* happens? Thanks! Tony

This is for Raja, the ASUS representative about the SABERTOOTH Z77. Other comments are welcome as well, of course. Twice has my SABERTOOTH Z77 motherboard heated up to 125C as reported first by the previous version of AI Suite II, and now by the latest version too, as well as by HW Monitor...

Just checked...

That's good news, thanks.

Thanks. About 78 degrees F daytime; 76 overnight.

Thanks. What about DRAM: 48 PCH: 46 USB3.0: 47 ? They are the highest. And this is while idling... (!?)

Thanks to all, BTW :-) Someone told me in a different forum that my HDD temps are too high. Do you agree? I posted the image to: http://tony-alicea.site.aplus.net/alicea/temps.png

I have the CPU Cooler: COOLER MASTER, Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler, Socket 2011/1155/1156/1366/775/FM1/AM3/AM2, Copper/Aluminum

How about fan speeds for same MB? CPU Fan: 760 PM CPU Fan OPT: 1110 RPM Assistant Fan 1: 4797 Assistant Fan 2 same as above And what is CPU OPT? Thanks Tony

BTW, what is BOM cost?

Thanks grambo for your reply. The PC builder used that DRAM because I asked for it. Not sure if I made the right decision, but it was my choosing from their enormous selection. Now, my main concern is to make this PC last as long as possible. My first mid-tower PC lasted 6 years; my...

BugginOuT: My CPU is 3rd Gen Core i-7 (3770). The article you quoted seems to be referring to 2nd Gen?

Thanks again, BugginOuT: Although I have not tried, I'm almost sure I can change the voltage for the DRAM from 1.65 to 1.5 via all the config options that are available in the Sabertooth Z77 ASUS MB's BIOS. I would not care if that meant decreasing the DRAM speed from 1600 to 1333. I'm sure I...

Thank you very much for your reply, BugginOuT: There is NO overclocking. My MB is an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 and the CPU is an Intel Core i-7 3770 and the RAM is 16GB of KINGSTON (4 x 4GB) XMP HyperX Genesis PC3-12800 DDR3 1600MHz CL9 1.65V SDRAM DIMM, Non-ECC The ambient temp as I am...
