I just finished putting the meat of my new system together. I got my water cooling setup set up, filled it, purged it. Then I proceeded to put everything together and get it to the Bios just to test everything, make sure there were no problems. Well everything worked fine, after about 15 minutes of hooking the power switch up wrong (boy did I get worried). Anyway, the Bios posted, read all the hardware correctly, however when I entered the hardware manager it said my temps were around 45C, then they got as high as about 50C after letting the computer idle in the Bios for about 10 minutes. How accurate is Asus's hardware monitor? Should I remove the CPU block and reapply AS5? Temps seem very high....

Rig is in my sig, second rig.
