I am new to this forum and want to start by saying hello. Also I need some help to understand what I am seeing.
I just bought my first home built PC and am trying to understand what I see. The machine is stock (not overclocked in any way).
This is my system....
ASUS P4C800 Dlx
P4 3.0/800 (512k cache) (Using stock Intel heatsink and fan)
Corsair Twinx1024-3200C2PT (Dual Channel Mode)
X Dreamer II case 350 watt PS (side fan intake, top fan exhaust, rear fan exhaust)
Idle temp after 4 days of breakin CPU=27C MB=28C Case=32C Room Temp=24C
The first day or so it ran a little hot when under load CPU=44C, MB= 37C and Case=44C. After 2 days and adding the rear exhaust fan mentioned above(didnt come with case) I now run CPU=41C MB=31C and Case=34C under same load as before.
Is this normal to have the temperature drop after a break in period or is this all due to the addition of the rear exhaust fan?
Also I tried setting the Bios up for the 3 2 2 6 that the memory manufacturer said it should be at, but it started locking up under load, I put it back into Auto and it was ok. Is there something wrong with this? Maybe I am not doing something right.
Any tips and advice would be appreciated. The system is working well and the temperatures seem more than reasonable from what I have read. But I would like to get it tuned up and not let the Bios auto settings control everything.
