Just finished my first build.....

[spikoman69]

...and it was a great experiance. Wasn't hard, everything went smoothly. Thanks for all your guys help. Specs in sig. Tell me what you think of wire managment in pics.

I also got a few questions.
1) I updated my bios today, and still in my hardware monitor in bios it shows my cpu temp as only 25 celcius. Also in the biostar software hardware monitor it shows the same. I know my cpu is hotter then this, or am i mistaken? What program if this is the wrong temp should i use to monitor my temp?
2) The only way i got my optical drive to be recognized as being connected was connecting it as master, will this effect my harddrives performence as they are both ata133 compatable and running on an ultra ATA 133 cable?

Um the rams are put wrong your suppose to put 1 on each of the first slots for dual memory support.

Not on this motherboard, i just checked my instructions on it again too.

yea i have a motherboard like that too, where the dual channels are next to each other. Makes more sense to me than alternating slots.

Same colored slots are for DDR.
