Hello,
I'm new and thanks for having me.
I just finished a new build and need a little advice.
Specs:
HAF-932 case
ASUS P5N-D motherboard socket 775
INTEL Q9300 overclocked atm @ 3.06
OCZ 4 GB DDR2, 6-6-6-18 (stock)
Coolermaster TX-3 CPU cooler
2x BFG GTX275 OC
2x 500gb caviar black in RAID 0
Windows 7 64bit
My first question is does anybody make a low profile or extra skinny 90deg SATA cable? The GPU's cover most of the SATA ports and I was forced to reuse my old ide dvd-rw. I bought a blu-ray player but cannot connect it because putting more than 2 SATA cables in prevents the second GPU from seating. Or does some type of bridge or adapter/splitter exist?
My second question is regarding cpu temps across the cores. Using Real Temp my cpu temps show 51 44 51 44 while typing this. Starting Prime 95 they jump to 61 53 59 56. After stopping Prime 95 they drop back down within 30 seconds. Are these temps safe, and is such a degree of variation across the cores normal?
Thanks in advance!
