    Question Crazy fan speed - every 15 seconds

    Thanks Photos. MSI Afterburner helped a LOT! My default fan speed/temp curve was way too steep in the 70+ temp range. Fan never really spun up much until temp was high 70's, and I guess temps would shoot up so fast speed would jump to 100% fan speed. This caused temps to rollercoaster up...

    Question Crazy fan speed - every 15 seconds

Had 2 exact computers (me and wifes). I'm pretty sure I had all the settings right. Like I said, I used to have an account here (since...

    Will a 4770 boost my performance?

    Thanks for all the replies. ;) What kind of games do I play? Well, no FPS games. Ever. I'm a casual old fart. Play stuff like LOTRO, ANNO 2070... Nothing too tasking I suppose. Overclocking isn't my thing any more. I used to, but after suffering through a "few" meltdowns I said - no more...

    Will a 4770 boost my performance?

    My current system is 3 years old. I am running an ASUS P7P55 mobo, i5-760 Lynnfield 2.8ghz (stock speed), Win7 x64, 256GB SATA3 SSD. My original video card was a 5870 2GB card. And system memory 4GB. I have since upgraded the video card to a EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB, and sys ram to 16GB...
