Hi Can someone pls help me to set optimal UEFI settings from AsRock Z77 Pro4 with i5 3450? I have these Hardware (self-build gaming PC): AsRock Z77 Pro4, Z77, LGA1155, PCI-E 3.0, CF, ATX Intel Core i5 3450 BOX, LGA 1155, 4C/4T Scythe "Big Shuriken 2 Rev.B" CPU Cooler Corsair XMS3 2x 8GB, DDR3-1600, CL11-11-11-30 Asus HD 7850 DirectCU II 2GB, PCI-E x16 3.0, DP, HDMI All funs: CPU und both chassis fans where set by default "FULL ON" and I'm really unsure, if this is optimal. For example, what should I set by "Target CPU Temp" and chassis funs or what about other important settings like "Power Saving Mode" (disabled by default)?
If this is a dedicated gaming machine and will be shut off when not in use then just leave all the settings where they are. You could bump the Target CPU temp by 5 or 10 degrees but with that CPU cooler I doubt it is required.
CPU fans adjust depending on the cpu temp. Also the fans connected to the motherboard also adjust depending on temperature. The ones connected using the molex connectors are at 100% or so. You'll have no problem with the setup, since you still can't overclock your cpu, no need to fret.
