Hello everyone,
First off, khudos on the ROG hero MB,works great and everything and i have had no problems so far.

Second,I am planning to add a graphics card to my build the link for that thread is here

http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?40945-gtx-660-wattage-query

By adding a graphics card and probably a new PSU ,naturally the heat level would increase .I do have 3 fans running inside my case
Front: 200mm fan
Rear: 120mm fan
and the stock CPU cooler fan

With all those installed my CPU core temperatures average 36-38 degrees on idle and while gaming it goes up to 45-48 degrees.Overclocking,i reached upto 55 to 60 degrees.

Are these normal temperatures for my build or should i opt for a specialized cooler?

Third, the reset button which is connected from my case to the MB reset terminals(located on thebottom right budge strip in the MB)

is giving be a little bit of a problem now,i hardly use it but sometimes it comes in handy.Anyway its supposed to restart my system(i.e shut down windows and then restart),but is not whats happening,when i press it my system instantly shuts down,its as though somebody unplugged my power cord and put it back in and pressed the start button.

Is that supposed to happen or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for all your help 🙂

if you have no plans to oc your system as per now i see no need to change cpu cooler.
get more air flow in the case to get in cold and out hot air when you add the second card.
the faster the air in the case get changed the cooler it will be inside and components will stay cooler.
