    Mainly I've been wondering about my audio driver. The motherboard came with a Realtek AC'97 driver, and its an nforce 4 ultra board. I was curious because with my nforce 2 board I used nforce drivers for audio. Should I use the Realtek, or get the Nforce ones?

    CPU Fan questions - Fan slows and CPU Overheats

    When my PC starts, I get a good 5000rpm out of the fan and it cools to 44C. As I use the PC, it slowly works its way down to 2000RPM.
