Hello everyone

I wonder if I installed the CPU cooler right

1) The MCP fan is right under the CPU heatsink...is it heating the heatsink up? Should I reinstall the CPU fan?

2) My MCP temps are at 60C on idle with the fan installed....
The m/b is EVGA 780i...is MCP supposed to run that hot?

it looks good. I have the same cooler and that's how to do it. You want it that way so that the middle pipe runs down the cores.
