First off the specs
E6400
Scythe infinity (1fan) both HS and CPU are lapped
Gigabyte P965-DS3
2 x 500 Gig SAMSUNG HD501LJ
2 x 1 gig Buffalo Firestix DDR2 400
Eneramx liberty 500 PS
In the Bios I have it set at 400 FSB .3V over on the ram (to rated 2.1v). CPU voltage at stock values. I tried setting everything to auto in the Bios and things got even more erratic so I decided to manually set them. I'll probably go for a FSB of 333 here after I'm done posting this.
In a nutshell what is happening is that when there is hard disk usage my CPu usage is quite high, 40%ish. In addition when there is a taxing process such as unRARing a large file set it pegs out one CPU and in process Explorer it has the Hardware interrupts usage at 48%. Temps are 36/39C in Speedfan and 51/54C in TAT (ambient is roughly 80F). What's kind of strange is that this seems to be the only time that my CPU numbers seem to work out in CPUZ. There it is showing a constant 2.8 GHz 1.28 V and 7X multiplier. When not running winrar it will randomly switch between X7 and X6 multipliers and even the voltage will fluctuate. The main thing that brought to my attention the problems were that unraring seemed to take forever and I would even have mouse stutter when downloading something via uTorrent plus when downloading I was getting stutter even in iTunes playback. I didn't use to have these issues For a while I was concerned with heat issues which is why i lapped and then reset my heatsink and things were fine for a while. It has just been in the last 10 days I have had issues. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing these issues. I have unrared and downloaded to both disks and they are only about 5 months old anyways.
