i dont think it has one
is there a way i can connect my case firewire with some kind of adapter to my motherboard
does firewire affect my internet or anything else?????
wat is firewire actually for???

thanx proxi for helping all the way
i connected everything else and just 10 mins ago turned my computer on...noiseless....bios shows " 40 C CPU TEMP" and "26 C SYS TEMP"
is that good ????
 
It's fine if it's a stock cooler, yes.

Firewire is like USB only a bit faster. Some devices, mostly external hard drives, use firewire. If you have no firewire devices stop worrying about it.

If you stopped posting separate threads I would be able to look up and see what you built :)

I don't keep everyone's config in my head ya know ;)

Download and use use Real Temp to monitor your CPU core temperatures. These are different and more accurate than the single CPU temp your BIOS displays. If your core temps reach 70C, it's usually time to worry... but that depends on which CPU you are using.
