What would be a good cooler? I have a tuniq Tower so yeah.
Whats the max I should let the temp get.
It's already in the red at idle in smart guardian.
Any suggestions?
I think this board misrepresents the actual temperature of the CPU and chipset. I have used the same CPU and HSF on a Gigabyte DS3 and ASUS
P5N-E SLi and on both of those boards both the included monitoring programs and speedfan32 reported 33C idle and 49C load with 1.5vcore. When I put the same hardware in this board it reads 43C idle and 62C load. The chipset temps appear to track similarly. This is my 2nd DFI RD600 board and both do the same relative to temps.
