Hello Everyone, first time poster here, and im a first time builder.
So i had a lot of problems then the average user when buying parts, for example being sent the wrong psu then rmaing that.
Case had a dent, rma that. Got a bad motherboard,dieing on me 2 weeks into, rma that, and so now, I'm at the 26th day of the 30th that newegg would be cool with me.
with their warranty, i have all my parts together and i re-put in my build once more. I now get to enjoy it, well somewhat need to finish
homework and school starts in 3 days.
Anyways, My I still have a couple dilemma I'd like to ask people.
So when i put it back on and start it up the 1st time, i got an error saying cpu over tempature press f1 to resume. So I googled the error and the solution was to replace the heatsink and to make sure the hsf is pushed in all the way
Well I knew that it was for sure this problem since i broke both of these symptoms.
Since i had to take out everything and stick it back on, the cpu heatsink was all rubbed off and everything.
The intel stock fan that came with it, 2 of the pin's wont push in, yes i've tried from every direction/angle, only 2 of the 4 will go in. I assume it might have been messed up when i took them off since i had to rma that mobo.
So now my rig is runnin at this; Which is extremely high at idle! I understand the factors of a bad thermal compound that's been really smeared off sine
the first time i had to take off and put it back on, but are these tempatures really reasonable? I mean i google up with peoples temp
being idle at like 30 degress celcius and mine's hittin 70 at start up.

Sry if you can't see it, it says Tj Max 100C
Core 0 73C, Core 1 68C, Core 2 68, Core 3 70.
I ordered artic silver 5 and a zalman cnps9500 to replace both of those along with a 120mm side panel fan for gpu,articlean and another connector.
The question to that will bring me up to my next current question.
So im running a Q9550, And i would like to overclock, (of course after i get the new fan in). I was thinking of going up to 3.5, so while, booting up i went into the bios screen and I'm lookin around and there's like no way i can change the multiplyer or the fsb.
I'm usin a ASUS P5Q SE PLUS motherboard also. So i guess the question here is, where do i go to, so i can edit all these and
begin overclocking?
