And now, let the new player questions start... The MB came with a couple things, including 'nvmonitor' which appears to be there to let me check some things. After freaking out at my GPU temps, then looking them up and finding out that they are apparently fine, I also wondered about this:
[fullalbumimg]373[/fullalbumimg]

The tooltips say:

If a bus speed is depicted in red, it is operating outside an acceptable tolerance and could suffer damage.
If a voltage is depicted in red, it is being overstressed and could suffer damage.

I have not tinkered with ANYTHING; should I be upping voltage, &c. on this stuff?

Please advise, over.

PS. I have run this thing so far for at least five or six hours of full TF2 on everything as well as leaving it on overnight once to make sure nothing locks up or shuts down or anything, so far so good... ?

Thats rather interesting.... lemme get a picture up of mine. odd your voltages are red...

I notice, its not reading your CPU or your RAM speeds. Compare voltages and my voltages are higher than yours. If i were you, dont worry about it.

Thanks, as usual... I had kind of resolved to, but I didn't want one of those situations where I cut the components' life in half or something; I didn't tweak anything, so that would hardly seem fair! Maybe one of these days I will find out about OCing some of this stuff just to tinker with it mildly.

So far, it's working great, though.
