I fixed it, it was the CPU fan not being adequately secured. One of the black twisty things (don't know what they're called -- on the four corners) had fallen off and was stuck in the back corner of the case. Didn't see it before. After re-applying some thermal paste and re-seating the CPU...

I tried cleaning it with some compressed air then underclocking it about 20% with RivaTuner with the side open and my fan blowing on it. Temperatures were identical for most components, no change in performance. Considering taking the HSF off and cleaning it up. It's an eVGA 8800GTS...

Hello, It's been quite some time since I last posted to these forums. Maybe someone here has some advice for me. I have an 8800GTS with an E6750 and 2GB DDR-6400 memory all on a Gigabyte P35-DS3-L. The issue is this: If I run Call of Duty 4, the performance seems to start out fine (125FPS)...

Really wanted one of these the last time around but all the stores near me sold out of SATA ones like pancakes at an IHOP. I just got back, bought one and it's a 7200.10! Might get another tomorrow for the media PC. (They are in-store and were lots in Florence, KY BestBuy if anyone is...

I fixed up the old computer and gave it to my father. He works for a web development firm and his old home PC was only a 1700+ Athlon XP with 512mb SDRAM and he is really loving the upgrade. Only cost about $90 after buying some parts from a local Microcenter and it's a huge jump for him...

Honestly, the jump in processing power was huge. The time it takes me to render video from Premiere has changed dramatically. My extraction time for compressed files (such as winrar files) is one of the biggest changes I notice out of an intensive application. The video card tears through...
