Hi folks, have just assembled my new "passive" desktop with:
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (Rev: 1.3)
Intel Core i5-2500K 3,3GHz
Corsair Vengeance LP 4x4GB DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz
Intel 520 series SSD 180GB
Thermalright HR-02 Macho (1x140mm fan)
Seasonic X-Fanless 400W PSU
Samsung DVD/RW 22X SATA
Fractal Design Arc case
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
..and started with some stresstesting using Prime95 to find out how much CPU fan speed I would have to use.
In the process I was quite a bit confused regarding my readings in Touch BIOS when I compared it with BIOS and SpeedFan readings.
1) with Prime95 running stably SpeedFan showed CPU core values levelling out at 40/41/46/48 C while Touch BIOS showed 39C Current CPU Temp.
2) with pc stably at idle, SpeedFan reported CPU cores 29/29/29/29 C while Touch BIOS showed 19C and BIOS showed CPU temp at 27C.
So it appers that Touch BIOS is still not quite "in touch" with what is happening...
Should I expect better results after updating, I have not yet connected to internet.??
..Cheers/Harald
