hi guys, a moderate OC that can be maintained for long hour usage is what would work for me(i leave my computer on for days a time, generally for some kind of download or whatever). Additionally i was wondering if there were any BIOS settings i should aware of and change, like the ram setting. and thirdly, if someone could give a general ballpark for a comfortable temperature for the different elements that should be concerned about id be grateful. I was just doing simple things on the computer, installing os's and such and the cpu (from my rough memory, was clocking at 36c which seems kinda high for what i was doing, and around 20's (maybe) for the rest. Ill come back tomorrow with more accurate numbers if anyone takes an interest. thanks!

great! sorry i didnt look for guides, i figured that if there were a guide it might set the values too high and result in damaging my computer due to the long usage. so is the noctua i got fine? or is it a loser? haha i hope not that thing was annoying to mount, its fans have an odd clip on function.

so that seems to cover the cpu, so is there anything i should set for the north/southside bus, GPU or ram? and anything else i dont know about? thanks a bunch!
