Hey I haven't posted here for about a year or more. But I really do like the community this site provides. I do have a question though. I won a rig at BLIZZCON 2011, and have a question. My CPU fan recently stopped working, and I replaced it, works great! It ruined my windows when the CPU fan was dead though, so I erased everything on my Solid State Drive and reloaded Windows 7 and it works fine. When I open something from downloads there is a quick black screen before the 'run' window appears. I'm not sure if that is something I need to worry about.
The main problem I have, I fear for the worst on my GPU fan. I have a GTX 480 and it's running at 90C idle as well as playing Starcraft 2 (the game i subsequently won the computer). I was wondering if that was a bit high or not. I tried doing research but everything/everyone says something different. I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forum to post this on, please correct me for future posts. Thanks guys! Hope to post more. I do want to get into overclocking ASAP.
