2 of the usb slots on the top of the case won't work as I've used up all the usb slots on the motherboard

Did you put them into the Blue part which i said on page 12 i think?

Found a few better images online where I've been able to read what the blue header is and its a J1394 so IEEE 1394 which is Firewire so the red one is the only USB header (but is supports two ports) on the board.

Ah i see, haven't used the board myself so i just assumed, but glad its cleared up.

Bit pants the board only supports 2 ports.

One is a usb 3 on which I'm using. Ok I ran prime 95 and I'm getting around 70 degrees but when I feel my case it feels cool.

Run prime 95 for a bit and put your hand near the exhaust fan ... It *should* be blowing out warm air

When I did the air was pretty cool. part of it was warm.

It's sucking air in isn't it whilst the cpu cooler is pushing out so you're feeling a mixture

What about the fan at the front of the case ? It should be sucking air in and feel cold ?

Get a very thin strip of tissue and hold it against the fan to determine if's pulling or pushing air

 

[anuraj]

kk,the tissue lifts up when I hold it aginst the fan at the back.

I don't know about the one at the front as there aren't any vents for it. I don't want to open the case up without my dads permission and if I asked he would probably say no.

 

[Subliminal Aura]

and the front ?

 

[shadow_boxer]

That's good. Means air is blowing out of the case.

 

[anuraj]

and the front ?

will test it when I get a chance.

Also are the prime 95 temps alright

 

[anuraj]

Ignore

It's all right for the CPU as it wont harm it (no where near the limit), but it's too high for what you'd expect at stock speeds with that cooler.

What's the Vcore?

I'm out .... can't help without your dad's permission - maybe you should get him to sign up to OcUK

 

[anuraj]

How can I check the vcore?

It's at 1.344 when running prime.

Now it's at 1.352






Krugga told me to post that

 

[olivier renault]

Oh ok, so it is overclocked. Not that bad then. Try reduce Vcore, to 1.325V.

What's the Vram? Should be under 1.65V, ideally under 1.55V.

To change voltages and check on them (apart from CPU-Z), you'll have to go to the bios. Would be nice to know the Vdimm / Vram (whichever it's called), and reducing the Vcore a bit.

 

[Subliminal Aura]

Huh ? Why is he already overclocked to 4.2 ? No wonder the temps are high

 

[anuraj]

Oh I didn't know I overclocked it. must have been oc genie. My cousin pressed it Going to change bios to default brb.

My vcore is at 1.275 clocked at 4Ghz and temps around 70 degrees max after an hour of Prime95.
