Make sure you have adequate CPU cooling or use a higher-spec cooling solution; **Intel CEP function depends on the CPU model. Refer to the Intel specification sheet or contact technical support for details. Updating this BIOS will also update the corresponding Intel ME to version 16.1.30.2307v4. Please note that after you update this BIOS, the ME version will remain the updated one even if you revert to an older BIOS later." Run the Asus driver update and check your Q-fan settings in BIOS. For the CPU cooler, I would recommend water cooling because the heat pipe works best when the cold plate is in a desktop position. For a tower on the floor, the fluid stays on the lower pipes and the direct heat is not transferred from the cold plate as well as in a desktop setup. Have the exhaust out the back of the case.

Absolutely love it. I got mine in white because dust particles are not that visible on white. It doesn't cool as good a 240mm AIO liquid cooler but it's pretty damned close to the same as my old Corsair H100i before the pump failed. You don't have to constantly worry about the pump failing or springing a leak on an air cooler. Water cooling is not necessary with the advancements in air cooler designs over the last few years unless you are running an i9 12900k,13900k or 14900k. Then you are going to need a LARGE AIO cooler or custom water cooling setup to keep your CPU temp under 100c. They run really hot. Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is literally the best air cooler that you can get for under $100. It cools just 0.5c less then the huge 160mm Noctua NH-D15 with a Intel 13900k running at 253 watts. Less than a hand full of air coolers on the market are capable of keeping a 13900k under 100c, under load. Noctua NH-D15 list price is $119 but you can find them for $99-$110, But it does not fit in most cases. They are Huge. Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is $33-$37 on amazon depending on which one you get. Edited March 5 by J3st3r LaRSin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I'm wonder how much that thing will pull in Watts when when gaming verses just web stuff verses idle. Then I can calculate how long my battery would last. I might be able to run it all night if not over 500W. Nice system. I bet I could use it my heater in the Winter time and it would be unusable in the Summer.
