First build, high temps

[Dougjwjr]

Well, my first build is well under way, but I've hit a snag. I've actually got it all together in the case, but I notice that temperatures seem awefully high.

I'd like to mention I got an antec 900 case, q6600 cpu, arctic cooler freezer 7 pro cpu hsf, evga nvidia 122 nf68 680i mobo, Corsair dominator 2x2 8500 (only 1 installed, fans not installed)...

CPU temps seem to be around 42C, mobo temps say 30C and MCP (what's that anyhow) says 41C. I'm also noticing not all fans seem to be reporting to the bios on the speed. I get CPU fan speed at like 880... and some nForce fan that is either broken or reporting wrong, saying 4400-4800 rpm.

I havnt installed os yet, and everything is still on stock values except my ram. I increased ram's voltage from 18.5 to 21.0 since it was recommended to me, I dont know if that's making a difference or not (also notice the ram's saying speed 800, not 1066)


I dont know if I missed something, or if something's wrong, but heh...
There seems to be considerable fan noise coming from it too, but if that fan is going 4400 rpm, it wouldnt be suprising.

Nothing wrong with the temperatures, actually.

I guess you have Thermal Management/Fan Management activated somewhere in the BIOS, so the HSF doesn't spin at full speed. I recommend to disable this.
