  1. I dont know why its not increasing the fan speed when u play games, but it shouldnt be effecting it that much, can u try and see if it makes a difference on another game? the best thing i can recommend at the moment is too try the new heatsink, it probably cheaper than the new psu, i dont really think the psu u have now is causing the problem. wut psu were u looking at getting?

  2. there is no need to give up on ur rig, it is capable of running the latest games at decent framerates, i think the best thing to do would to be to buy that heatsink u found, and see if that does the job, if it doesnt come with some thermal paste then i suggest u get some artic silver 5 thermal compund as it is pretty much the best and its cheap. To get the thermal paste off ur cpu after u take the old heatsink off, just take some rubbing alchohol and a cloth and it will come right off.

  3. i kno it was pricey, but i thought it was worth it as i wasnt sure if any other would work properly. as for the heatsink, just go into the details of each on from the thermaltake site and it gives u the demensions, i dont think u should have any problems except with the blue orb, or the big typhoon.. cuz they are HUGE!!

  4. have the same case and most likely the same fan, but the difference is when mine is under a load it does increase in RPMs, this definetly effects performance as the cpu will overheat without sufficient cooling, if the fan is not working correctly then i suggest u just get a new and probably better heatsink/fan, that should solve ur problem.

    just took a quick look on newegg, this one looked like the best.. not much selection http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835119058

  5. i wont crown Intel the champ yet eather, but its going to be tough for amd to match or beat that.

    if this http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/02/21/a_look_at_amds_socket_am2_platform/page9.html is any idea of wut the am2 socket will be compared to current gen cpus, then there sint much too look forward to from AMD, the credibility of it isnt great and it may be too soon to tell the true result, but its still somthing to get u thinking.

  6. right now its amd, but if you can wait about a month or 2 untill intel relases there new processor conroe, whitch is about a 100fps faster then the amd fx-60 in F.E.A.R.

    But if you can't wait go with a amd for now.

    100fps faster? id like too see proof of that, the only benchmarks ive seen show it 20% better,http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=2713&p=3. Im not saying the conroe wont stomp any amd getting ready to be released i just think ur numbers are a bit off. Aswell as the release date, it definetly wont be out in a month or too, look early Q3 for it to be released.

  7. look at any of the reviews, the 7900gtx is basically even with the 1900XTX, getting higher in a couple of games. Not worth the money at this point. Im gonna wait till the series 8 cards with dx10 are out, as those will have significant performance gains.
