So holy S this thing is working. An issue I forgot about is that my router is downstairs and I didn't buy this a wireless card so i'm stuck using my laptop as a wireless antenna and ferrying bytes through it. So that's on the to-do/to-buy list.
So since this is the first time i'm doing something like this,
-What benchmarks should I be putting this thing through?
-Are there any like 'first few days' tips and tricks I should know?
One thing I'm worried about is that my temps seem a little wonky. Thinking back, I remembered that I had some trouble with the CPU cooler mount and stuff and maybe it moved around a little while i was screwing it in. Here is my hardwaremonitor stuff : http://imgur.com/EftNzKL
Am I going to have to do the whole cpu-seating procedure again? :(
