Hey guys,
I've put together my first PC and just wanted some feedback whether I'm on the right track here. I've a Megahalems with a single low speed fan sitting on top of an i7-870 at stock settings, I'm in BIOS right now getting familiarized and in HW Monitor it reads 37C for the CPU. Is this acceptable or should it be lower? I'd like to OC this chip later on to speed up rendering so I want to know whether I got the heatsink on there properly or not.
What you think?
