Bags you need a new monitor first off. Unless my skimming is this bad how did you solve your issue?

CPUID hardware monitor isn't good? Used "real temp 3.70" and they only differ by 2C.

And I didn't, I just reset cmos again and it saved my changes this time.

Anyway, temps are between 64 and 72 according to realtemp and CPUID hardware monitor for the second test via prime95, after an hour and 20.

Oops I meant LCD Monitor.

It's the one my 23.5" acer replaced. I use it for steam/skype/monitoring temps and stuff.



It's like 10 years old but I don't need crystal clear 1080p goodness to use steam while in game.

Anyhow, I'm on the third prime test, and my temps are averaging between 65 and 70ish, with occasional spikes into the mid 70s.

Played BF3 for 30 mins, temps didn't go over 59C

glad to hear you got it to hold the overclock settings and run stable @ 4.3

The real question is "how many frames did you gain?"
In other words "is it worth it?"

GW2 ran like shit and Clegg keeps saying PS2 will be cpu heavy so I don't see how I could avoid OCing at this point really.


Thanks for the help everyone.

My brother just switched to a 3570K this week from his AMD Phenom II X4. He was expecting GW2 to run great, but it still ran like shit even though he has a 6950 2GB. That dev team really needs to work on their performance before releasing.

Yes GW2 however the graphics aren't good really. Just the game isn't optimized at all from the devs and probably gpu driver (nvidia and AMD).

[Bags]

Yeah, the graphics kind of suck on ultra for how bad it runs.
