Revscene to the rescue!! So I finally got all 4 of them in properly! the bottom white area on one side was bent out of shape therefore stopping the entire side from going in properly.

Temperature reading is 46 degrees on its side and upright. Is this normal operating temperature? i used evga precision to turn the fans to 100%. Any negatives (other then the noise) about keeping fan speed @ max vs. auto?? and what is optimal temperatures. I was told about 30 degrees.

also how much thermal paste is supposed to be between the cpu fan and the chip? There was very little maybe size of a nickel right now. Should I get artic silver 5 paste take the old stuff off and reapply or not worth it? I would rather not but if it will make sure this computer isn't going to screw up again I'll do it.
