okay. if you are not going to do OC, it should be fine. No need for paste right now as the temperatures look pretty good.

yep.....so what do you think...wasn't my heat sink fixed properly earlier?

oh btw...Speed fan and MSI Dual core center don't read the fans plugged on the "SYSFAN2" port on my mobo !??
whats wrong?
the fans are working though!
