Tell Me what this tells you!

Hello, this is my first build ever.... http://pcpartpicker.com/b/AVK

I'm probably being over anxious or nervous about my PC but I would like ya'll to tell me what these hw monitor results tell ya. This is on idle. They look good?

hi,

no problems there. :pt1cable:

Everything looks good. If something was wrong, you would know soon after pressing the power button for the 1st time. lol.

Also, now that it's together, and you have a k-version CPU, start researching into Overclocking your CPU (do some google searches like "how to overclock i5-3570k"). You will get ALOT of extra performance out of it.

Everything looks good. I would shop around for the prices on the case, ram & hdd. I could have sworn they were $10-20 cheaper each.

Yeah it's built already. The prices are different than what I paid.

ittimjones · Mar 28, 2013

Do I get the "Solution" or "Best Answer" then?

Serix :

Ah ok. Look good then.

I took your advice and researched overclocking. I upped up to 4.2ghz, I don't want to go much more. My idle temps around 30-35c now. Which I think is still good? On load my temps don't go more than 80c.

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!

I would honestly hold off on the CPU OCing. Your CPU at stock clocks is more then enough to push that GPU, In a few years when games are more CPU intensive by all means, OC. But running it at high clocks can hurt the lifespan of the chip. its your call, just letting you know.

TL;DR OC when your CPU is too slow, don't just OC because you can.
