Hey folks,
Everything posted perfectly on the fiirst boot. Man, what a light show that was..LOL. I was really happy the mobo liked the G.Skill ram too. The only thing I'm not liking is the Intel heat sink fan. I checked the FanEQ utility and found the CPU temperature was 61C or 141F after about 20 minutes. Seems a bit high to me considering I used Artic Silver 5. Those lousy fan clips are a bad design if you ask me. Somehow I feel this fan is going to work itself loose and burn up my CPU. I think I'm going to change it out.
I should have my LG DVD drive tomorrow night, so the next step will be to load Windows Vista Ultimate. I'll let you all know how that works out.
Lastly, I want to thank BatBoy, for all the great advice he's been giving me during this build. I have no doubt I would have had problems if he hadn't been around to answer my questions.
