3D Slowdowns

Wed Mar 15, 2006 8:38:14 PM #16519 Perm Link

I'm getting massive slowdowns in my games. I don't know what is causing it, it just happened! I'm still trying to diag the problem. I've uninstalled every program that I could. Checked every setting. Updated drivers.

Don't know.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

I am thinking that as well. When I get back home I'll disabled one of the cores and check out the airflow in the case. There are 7 fans in it...

Yep. It turns out that the amazing CPU heatsink retention for the LGA775 strikes again. It wasn't sitting flush with the CPU and was overheating. It hasn't manifested itself until recently, but now it is running about 68 deg C and that's an assload better than 95.

All sorted out.
