the fan's rpm is at 2500. it's a stock heatsink for a p4 3 ghz cpu. earlier my cpu was running at 90 degrees celsius, according to my mobo. now it's supposedly running at 30. i thought stock fan's rpm should be around 4200-4800 rpm?

and i've noticed another thing. my comp runs like it's a 1 ghz. i get extremely low fps in counter-strike vs my 1.4 ghz athlon. what can i do? :(

Reseat your HSF, It was probably not seated right. The 1 Ghz feeling is from Thermal Throttling, basically if the CPU gets hot it slows down so it doesnt cook itself. If the problem persists bring more details and repost.
