I need two screws for the Graphic card.

Which case is that?

Use thumb screws for your GPUs.

Temperature of the processor hovering around 70-80 in the BIOS. Weird. I've also reTIMed using Cooler Master E2. Any suggestions? Or does the stock Intel HSF sucks?

Yet to install OS.

stock Intel HSF sucks?

Obviously.. But with 2500K running at stock speed, temperature is hot.
Buy a cpu cooler & MX2 thermal compound.

Nice rig ico... The stock 2500K HSF isn't bad... are they properly seated..

 

[Skud]

Stock Intel HSF sucks. But temps are way too high.

 

[MegaMind]

^^But 'um, for 2500k running prime95 never goes over 64'C(ambient ~30'C)

 

[Faun]

Re-seat it. Temps are way too high on stock.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

ico get yourself new paste ASAP.

 

[ico]

well that's weird. Only the BIOS says around 70-80.

gagan@cozmo:~$ sudo modprobe coretemp
gagan@cozmo:~$ sensors
radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +68.0°C

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +49.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 0: +46.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 1: +47.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 2: +46.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)
Core 3: +46.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +98.0°C)

I guess it's fine then.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

yea..they were properly seated, Ubuntu is displaying fine temps. Will update the firmware as Extreme Gamer said.
