Okay so i just finished building my first PC, and everything is running pretty good, as far as i can tell. I installed all the drivers for motherboard except one. The last one on this page wouldn't install. It told me that my computer didn't meet the minimum requirements. I don't have a RAID setup, so is that why i can't install it?

After i finished installing the rest of the drivers, i checked device manager and noticed that only one had the yellow exclamation mark, "Other Devices: Ethernet Controller". Where can i find the necessary driver for this problem? I googled it but couldn't find a definitive answer.

And one more thing, I haven't run Prime95 yet, but i took a look at CoreTemps and at idle (0% CPU usage?) it's stating an average temp of 22-23C. But when in my BIOS, it says the temp of the CPU is at around 44C. Which one should i trust?

Hopefully you guys can help me out.

Just ran Prime65 for about an hour, and at 100% load, the CPU temps for all 4 cores average 60 degrees. Is that too high or about right for 100%?

To install the driver, "right click"" on the exclamation point and select "Update driver ", then select "browse my computer for driver", then select the root directory of your driver disk (probably D:\ or E:\) as the source. And your Prime95 temps are fine.

Theres a free app called "Speedfan" that seems to give the most reliable core temp readings. You should have no trouble finding it.

You can go to the msi website or use the disk that came with your motherboard for you Ethernet driver. I use real temp for monitoring temps on mine. Your CPU temps are normal.
