Hi everyone.
Im a first timer in buying and constructig the computer.
I am using Abit is7-E2, with p4 northwood 3.0 ghz.
Anyways, all works good, i just booted, but im not sure what settings i need to change in the BIOS.
I dont want to overclock, but just to get all the settings right.
I went into the bios and theres a million things i dont know.
Like shoul i do "turn off cpu if over heat?"
and what temp should i put it on? its currently disabled.
Also i have some fan, i set it to run 6000 RPM all the time. which is the max speed for that fun, because i didnt know how to install the temp checker.
Is that ok or will it slap me back later on?
So what other changes should i make to the defualt settings? what abou the fan? also i dont have any system cooling fan, is that ok?
only a fan on cpu and a fan on video card.
and how do i check if my video card is ok? if everything is on the correct bus speed automatically or do i need to set it?
Thx, and happy thanksgiving or whatever you are celebrating :>
