Just a quick few questions, What size rad is that, also Why Biostar and not ASUS or Gigabyte. Nice system, but a larger case with cable management would give you much better temps.

[languy99]

@Antimalwaregeek rad can hold 3 120mm fans. I went biostar because of the bang for buck and I seem to be right. Not paying for the name but the features. Rock sold from what I can tell. case size or cable management does not matter because of the external rad. Temps are stable as can be.

[Antimalwaregeek]

@languy99 But case temps won't be great, heat will rise towards the rad, which increases the temp. although I do Cable management for looks not temps. Nice Processor though!

[languy99]

@Antimalwaregeek how will it get to the rad? is it external to the case and no way the heat can get to it, even if it does exit from the psu it exits to the back with lots of open space around it.

you need cable management dude and get a SSD <---just a suggestion

i also have a 2500k at 4.0ghz on a aircooling Noctua (NH D14) idle=32c load=37c gaming=40c

i think your set-up can push it up to 5.0

[languy99]

@IRyu03 idle for me is 29c right now. I got an ssd and I am running it using the intel rapid storage technology and I love it.

[Antimalwaregeek]

@languy99 NVM, what I was trying to say is that it looks messy and uses a lot of space having the RAD outside rather than inside the case.

@Viktor21771 LOL "monster pc". u serious?

[vedrex87]

3870?!-that's little weak is it?If you don't play games and you are dealing with antivirus programs you don't need 2500k or 8 gigs of RAM with 1600.You could buy less expensive PC for your needs here.

You are using single channel :p Put ram sticks one after another.
