Like about a month ago I ran super pi and got 29min [32m], I ran super Pi today just for fun, and got 36. Both off a fresh reboot. I have done no changes to my configurations. What is going on, could it be my hardware wearing out? or should i assume Malicious programs.

I am amazed you hit 29sec with that setup.....I had to run 2.67ghz with 183 divder for ~533ddr cas 2.5-3-3-7 to hit it....

I would make sure after reboot you give it a minute or so and make sure nothing is still loading....Then disable any AV program and go into task manager and see if anything is stealing some cycles...

Nope, Current config just like Duvie's, "Cranked the volts ofcourse" But I've noticed that on the new config and the old, The HD is being accessed for lik 2-3 secs between iterations. That never happened 2 months ago I believe. COULD it possible be my HD? Cuz it's recently been defragged but I've been actively downloading, so would a reformat help??

Ok, Ran CCleaner, it deleted over 2 gigs of stuff. Still pulling 35min on 32m... I can understand 30-31min BUT ""35"", that is just a little off isn't it?
