Haha, I have ZERO technical ability! I just do a lot of research and read a lot of reviews whenever I look at spending a decent amount of cash on something! Just ask my wife about the last time we needed new tires for the SUV!
As for why I went with the K version, the difference was so small that it seemed to be silly not to just get it. When you end up looking at $2-$3000, who cares about $30? Did I throw it away, no, I still have a processor that is able to do more than I need right now, and the K ability allows me to hopefully continue to use it should my processing needs increase. As for the H100i, well, it seems like a good idea since I had read previously about all the overheating issues, I figured I should just buy a really good cooler right off the start so at least that eliminates the possibility of the cooler being the cripple of the system. Now that I have a pretty decent system, maybe I will get into more gaming and comp related things to utilize what I have.
Yes I have them in SLI, I didn't change any settings to them, other than click the little box that says "run in SLI" haha, I know this isn't the right topic for that discussion though. I just wondered about the AIDA64 GPGPU test because at the top of the first row of columns it said 2 GPU's and that part completed successfully all the way down the row, it wasn't until it was doing the testing under the second column that said x64 that it crashed, so wasn't sure if it was something with my processor settings, or if others were able to complete it successfully.
Yes I was talking about saving the BIOS settings
To the resetting CMOS part, My motherboard did have all the settings cranked up, basically as high as it would go on XTU, but I worked my way around in the BIOS to figure out what I was supposed to change. First time I had ever knowingly entered a BIOS! haha, that's how technical I am!
As for the VCore setting, I had lowered it to 1.150 (that was listed in here by another member) and it seemed to be working fine. My auto setting was at 1.207. I did notice a temp difference by lowering it that little bit extra, I just recently increased to 1.165 just for the heck of it.
I wouldn't mind trying some overclocking, I just truly have no idea what I am doing so it makes me a little nervous since if something goes wrong, I really will have no idea how to fix it!
For the fans, they are all quiet editions, 1450 RPM, (120's) I think I will try plugging that one fan into a different fan header (or whatever the proper name for it is) and see if it persists. As for why I have the exhaust plugged into the CPU OPT port, well that's the only one it would reach!!! HAHAHA I have some PWM extensions and splitters on order, should be here tomorrow. I live in a small town and there is absolutely NOTHING here in the way of computer parts. Maybe something is different between the H105 and the 100i, I don't have my pump plugged into any separate thing. My radiator fans run into the actual part that is mounted to the processor, then there is one single wire (in a 3 pin fan plug) that goes on the CPU fan port.
I think I will try the overclocking like you suggested, once I know for sure that the settings I have are stable, and write them all down! haha
I really can't thank you enough for all the time and wisdom you have given me. I have been on many different forums, car, boat, stereo, and sure do enjoy when I find one that isn't full of jerks just trying to make people feel stupid. So thank you and Larryccf for your help and advice!
