Final Question

[newbuilder14]

Computer is being sent out to customer tomorrow.

Last set of specs in my sig.

I have the Sonata II fan set to low for quietness.

The CPU idles 42C which I'm fine with, but the motherboard idles the same temp. IS THIS OKAY? I'm not sure how hot motherboards can be. I searched Google and people seem to be having the same temps in their PC Probe II (Asus utility) screenshots...

Your prompt responses are valued greatly. Thanks in advance, Newb.

Its fine.
However is there a real big noise diff between low and high?

Not really but I don't want to burn the motor out... Anyway I am friends with this person and will follow up in a week or so and at that time I may set it to medium.

If it's a ball bearing fan it'll last a long time. A few computers I built in 2000 and 2001 still have the original Sunon ball bearing fans running fine in them and these are spinning around 2800 RPM. I just instruct the owners that when they blow out the interior of their computer they should also wipe the dust off the fan blades with damp q-tips.
