New to OC and reading alot of info.
I just built a system listed below. I dont want to burn the thing up and just making sure I have done my homework so far. Is there anything in voltages I might change to get some of those temp's down? Worried about the MCP and SPP the most.
Not water cooling but I did buy a Noctua NH-U9B CPU Cooler
and artic silver #5 for contact. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
