However it appears to be running a bit hot...ASUS PCProbe shows CPU 55 degC and M/B 25 degC. Have built according to AMD specs with all recommended fans and internal setup. Only thing not done was using paste between CPU and heatsink. Any comments out there as to whether it's running too hot or am I being too cautious?	Guest (0)
