I have a chaintech vnf3-250, a AMD 64 3000, with 2 sticks of 512mb ddr 400 ram, and a 6800gt.
Recently Battlefield 2 has been running pretty laggy so I wanted to find out what was wrong since my specs are pretty good.
After some testing I noticed I had 100% cpu usage when running bf2 and digidoc the temp indicator program for the cpu registered a 64 degrees celcius. Now without running BF2 I noticed that just browsing webpages and stuff I get about 54 degress celcius according to program. Now I am not sure what is an acceptable temp for this computer also the temp for the system is 28 degrees celcius I have a stock heat fan and 4 other cpu fans.
The only thing I can think of is that I recently had to swap out the motherboard for the computer because some of its usb ports were faulty I swapped for the exact same board though. I am thinking maybe I didn't settle the heatsink on properly or didn't put on enough thermal paste.
I am not sure thats why I am wondering if anyone here has any ideas to my problems.
