  is this suppose to mean something?

Quote:Originally Posted by unclewebb Have you run the RealTemp sensor test yet? It might show you if your sensors are getting stuck at lower temperatures. This test was specifically designed to show users just how bad these...

its C1 and did an internet search and people are getting lower temp on stock idle. so this heatsink is prob not good, i found someone else getting same temp as me, even after reapplying thermal grease and etc. but others are getting...

ok so i purchased a "intel core2 Q9550" for $187 to replace m,y e6750 2 cores lol. yes it feels really good. so i did this because i have no money for a new setup. now my question is this, i'm not crazy about overclocking or care about...

yes i do use addons and plugins but probably not enough to call it a lot. what i do have it anywhere from 10-20 tabs on firefox. and some of them using java yeah. i have 4gb of ram, and before firefox begins to lag, it ends up being...

not sure what forum this one goes in, if firefox uses 30% of the cpu @ a given time, does overclocking it decrease the cpu usage at a lower percentage instead of 30?
