Hi all,
I've tried searching the forums and google for an answer but I cannot seem to find it. Just got my brand new ASRock X79 Extreme11 motherboard today and got it installed. Works great, but I'm a bit worried about SB/MB temperatures. Right now I've set the MB fan to "Enabled full on" to keep the temps as low as possible until I find an answer, but it sure makes a lot of noise...
I have good airflow in my cabinet (around 3 degrees above room temp at load) so that should not be the problem. The CPU is water cooled so air temp and flow in the cabinet is basically just for cooling the MB.
I use the AXTU to check the temperatures in Windows 8. I can see in the BIOS that I can choose a lot of different desired temperatures for the MB when setting the desired fan level, but I'm not sure what temps are acceptable and/or safe. In my opinion low temps are always the best, but the fan is very loud so I would like to know what is the maximum safe temperature to set in the fan setting in the BIOS and what temperatures can I expect to monitor in the AXTU?
BTW: Does there exist any water blocks and/or bigger cooling blocks for this MB?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
