Hi all i am new to the site so i am not sure if im posting this in the right place....if i am im sorry.
anyway i have a few questions about my recent pc build. i will tell you the spec and them ask the questions. any help will be greatly appreciated.
motherboard.....Asus M4A785TD-V EVO
Processor..........AMD Phenom II x6 1100T
Ram.................G.skill F3.12800CL9T6GBNQ (3 X 2GB)
Cooler..............Arctic freezer 13 with pre-applied ARCTIC MX-4 thermal compound
Graphics...........ATI sapphire Radeon HD6870 1gb
sound...............sound blaster xfi extreme gamer.
PSU..................Novatech 500w modular
case..................coolermaster CM 690 II
right here is my first question.....i have installed the rams into three of the four slots, what are the best three slots to use. i have used slots
dimm_b1
dimm_a1
dimm_b2
leaving slot dimm_a2 emty (closest to the processor)
question 2....is the pre-applied ARCTIC MX-4 thermal compound any good??? i have an idle temp of 44c. and when running prime95 for 10 mins it goes to 62c, is this a safe temp? is the cooler any good?
i will post screen shots of speed fan, cpu-z. i have had a little tweak in bios taken a few things off auto but not sure if i have done the right thing.
any advice would be great.....thanks steve.
