New build cannot start

FredeGail,
Where on the mobo is this temp being read? TMPIN1 or System are choices in SIW SIW | System Information for Windows by Gabriel Topala that I use. I was shocked to see my TMPIN1 showing 73 c but only to learn that this is a common temp error as my system shows 27 c and CPU @ 19-21 c at the same time.

Actually I have no idea. Isn't usually reading on the North Bridge?

You can always do the touch test as 60-70 c will be hot to the touch at that's 140f - 158f. Likely it's just warm or warmer !

It was of course Speccy that gave me incorrect sectors. In the very first uptime of my pc, it still said 60, I checked BIOS afterwards, and it said 21-24 celcius.

That sounds great. I've found that some of the software does not read Sandy Bridge correctly.

Yeah, my computer ran great today! Now I just need a new harddisk and graphic card, and I have a whole new computer.
I also changed the way the cables are, giving a bit more space for the harddisk, which is pretty great.

Great, good job. Cable management is more of an art than a science. To me, that is the hardest part of a build.

It is. It is, indeed.
