Cpu Temp Monitoring Windows 7

This cpu runs hotter than it's intel counterpart. I was concerned at first, and kind of obsessed with monitoring the temp. But it is stable and maintains constant temps so I quit worrying about it. I've had no issues with it and it works great in my custom build.

..first 24 hours..used only 7%..couldn't ask for anything better...

Love it. Works well. Could use a cpu temp monitor tho, has a gpu temp monitor so why not cpu

Easy to install and keeps the core temp at about 36 deg C for my i7 12700k cpu.

Works great! It has dropped my CPU temp 10 Degrees Celsius and looks awesome doing it!

It’s working great, brought my cpu temp so far down from 87c to 83. Going to keep tinkering around to lower the temps. Easy installation.

Note I am far from a professional, but here's my 2 cents. It has just about all you could want for a first USB interface, dual input, pretty high gain for the price, and monitoring with a screen to show levels. It's not enough for an SM7B without some boost in post or elsewhere. The direct monitoring picked up a lot that was not present with the windows listen to this device selected. Direct monitoring picking up more mouth noise, and windows being more bass heavy and generally what I would want to hear(almost no extra saliva-y mouth noises). The biggest nitpick I've heard of from multiple sources are the gain knobs which aren't that loose or bad, you'd have to be quite rough with your equipment in my opinion for this to cause issues. Generally I would say the build quality feels pretty solid.

The fastest CPU I've ever witnessed. Windows 10 loaded initially in well under 4 minutes! (from USB of course) This beast boots up and shuts down in mere seconds and does not flinch with anything thrown at it. A really incredible processor.

Well designed motherboard. I am running Windows 11 with a i7-13700K CPU and a 128 GB of Crucial DDR5 RAM. I wish ASUS made more Z790 motherboards in mATX form factor.

I added this into my Windows 7 4th Gen i5 movie server.   It had trouble transcoding 4k videos on the fly (the CPU would peg at 100%).  I added this card in and updated all the drivers.  Now video transcoding is being offloaded to the card instead of CPU and I can now push multiple 4k files at the same time without breaking a sweat.  Much cheaper than rebuilding the whole server with a new generation of CPU/MoBo/RAM etc.
