   Hi,

I recently completed my first build, I've been using it for a few days now with no problems as far as I can see. But I was a little confused about some of the wiring instructions, and I am hoping someone would be kind enough to look at these voltage numbers and tell me if they think everything looks ok?

Secondly I have a question about temperature. I seem to be getting 2 different readings for the CPU temp. The motherboard software says that even at idle I am over 50c, which seems like a bit much from what I've read. I am using a water cooler with plenty of quality thermal compound.
The CAM software that comes with my cooler however, rates it in the 20c-30c range at idle.
Everything in the case, including the water cooler, is cool to the touch even when running under a higher load. So I would think the motherboard is not giving a correct temp reading for the CPU? But I don't know. Is this going to cause any problems?

p.s. I am not OC'ing anything yet.

Thank you so, so much. I appreciate your time.
