Well - this is going to be a thread where I get asked a ton of questions I am pretty certain....
Anyway I am feeling somewhat nervous right now - because I am getting mobo case speaker beeps from my Nexus box with the above mobo installed - this is the rig in my sig and has had a few add-ons made since then (Winfast card, generic sound card, added a fan to blow at rear - so nothing too major, but let me tell you that box sure runs warm and tends not to be suitable for gaming as you may guess).
But to the point. I am presently getting a CPU readout from mbm at 61 or 62oC for the CPU (it is folding 100% so this is a loaded figure). I believe readout to be maybe +5oC but relatively accurate from the BIOS figures I get. I have mbm alarm set at 65oC because it is above that I found instability woulc come in during the summer!
Anyway - I have just had maybe a dozen mobo beeps at unspecified intervals and with no apparent cause. Like I say the temp is just inside what I am prepared to tolerate. No other alarms knowingly set by me. have HD space monitor on my desktop and nothing bad there that I can see. Checked event log and nothing to see there....
Any ideas how I should proceed? During the course of typing this post I got one beep at the start and one at the end! So I want to find out what the hardware is awarning me about before I crash and burn! Gonna post now as this has me nervous....
