After getting the monitor to respond, I'm now looking at the boot menu for my PC.
Before I get to installing the OS along with the other drivers, I want to adjust all the BIOS settings to suit my gaming and work needs.
Here is a list of the parts my PC is using:
PCPartPicker part list

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is what I saw on the readout of the H-W Monitor on the boot menu, changes with RPM and Voltage included, all while idling:
CPU Temperature: 37.0 C
M/B Temperature: 29.0 C
CPU Fan 1 Speed: 1365 ~ 1410 RPM
CPU Fan 2 Speed: N/A
Chassis Fan 1 Speed: N/A
Chassis Fan 2 Speed: N/A
Power Fan Speed: 1363 ~ 1383 RPM
CPU Input Voltage: +1.760 ~ 1+.776 V
Vcore: 1.036 V
+ 12.00V: +12.196 ~ +12.1249 V
+ 5.00V: +5.088 V
+ 3.30V: +3.376 V
I only have one fan each for the CPU and Power Fan sockets.
Is that too much heat for my CPU to work normally? Again, idle temperature.
Also, I don't intend to do any Overclocking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, how to go about adjusting the number of settings with the BIOS. Recommended settings regarding stability and longevity of PC Life need only apply.
One setting I'm considering under Tools, the Dehumidifier. Since the room I'm keeping the PC in is humid, fluctuating between 60% and 85% on the humidity meter, would enabling that be a wise idea? If so, what settings for that would be best recommended?
