Will there be any problem as I didn't buy it? Is it a MUST BUY?
and Is there a way to run my OLD Sony DVD-RW in this RIG?
Regards.

Check if u have an IDE slot on the mobo..if not then u will have to buy a better drive..
Stock cooler is fine..but it is advised to go with hyper 212+ or any other for that matter..as they keep the temperature much cooler even if u dont overclock..
I am currently at 3.8ghz and the idle temp is always under 35 c..

Will check the IDE slot later. I checked the CPU temp by CPU ID HW Monitor, and it was like this, after the PC was on for 6 hours and no gaming at all.
Core 0- 43° C
Core 1- 41° C
Core 2- 43° C
Core 3- 39° C
So they are over 35° C and it's not OC'ed. So, I think I should buy the Cooler, what do ya think?
BTW- What is AUXTIN? It shows a temp of 54° C !

congrats, brilliant purchase.

post some pics and update your sig.

well i really dont think you will need a cooler if you are not buying a big card.your case is quiet good too.

if the room has ac , then run the ac for half hour while the system is running.

though f you do get a cooler then do buy a card since crysis 2 comes in march

Who assembled the system. Was TIM applied to the contact surfaces..?

 

[ithehappy]

I don't know what is TIM, assembled by Vedant.

Question to all:
Do the i7 stock HSF's come pre-timmed...? How good is it..?

ithehappy, lets wait for this answer. Your temperatures are not that bad. What are the ambient temperatures..?

@ asingh

Don't know about i7's but my i5 750's stock hsf was pre-timmed. Posting a screenshot of temperatures at idle. Hope this will help.

Looks like I'm missing something, but 9 degrees.

 

[vickybat]

Is there somethin wrong ishu?

 

[Ishu Gupta]

^
Temparatures say
9 9 8 8

 

[vickybat]

Yes mine are showing that way. I'm using real temp 3.40. System is idle, core clock 1200mhz and load is some 8-10%. core i5's are really cool(thermally).

What's the ambient temperature?

 

[vickybat]

^^
you mean temp at full load?

Just the rough temperature of your city would do. If you are in the north where the temperature is around 10, that would make sense.

15 to 20 degrees at night. Currently in orissa

@ithehappy
See that's a bit high...and you are talking about idle right..When you'll play games or something it will surely go up...
Before overclocking my ideal temp was 26-27° C...see the difference..
If you have the money left then DO buy a cooler...if not then, well don't...
