First, the build:
Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark 2
Intel i7 4790K
16gb Corsair Vengeance @ 1600 MHz
Corsair Hx1050 PSU
EVGA GTX 780ti Superclocked
Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme
Now, the issue:
This board has two USB 3.0 controller drivers - Intel and Asmedia. When everything is running with both drivers enabled, AI suite shows the boards' controller at anywhere from 37c to 50c while every other component is sitting at around 25 -30c. When I disable the Asmedia controller in the BiOS it stays at consistent temps with the PCI-e port that the video card is plugged into ( very close to each other ). @ 29 - 35c depending on load.
So the question is
A: is this normal?
And
B: is ithere any harm in leaving the ASmedia controller disabled?
