Hey guys, I've recently been experiencing problems in BF3. Three/four days ago everything was okay, I was getting anywhere between 90-100+ fps and around 60 while recording using MSI.

Now I'm getting around 70, and 35-40 while recording. My CPU is also running at 99% (Not sure if that's normal) when playing bf3. I've had to turn everything down to medium.

I have a GTX 670, i5 3330 3ghz (think it's slightly boosted just over 3) My computer is 6 months old.

In single player my cpu runs at about 75 while my GPU is hitting 80-100 playing on ultra. My gpu temp is at 65 and my fan is running at 65 (It used to run at 40) not sure why it's decided to run at 60 now.

Hey. I'm a complete noob when it comes to computers. I have a Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus USB 2.0 ATX Case so, whatever fans come with that.

I downloaded speed fan to check the temps of things and on the left it's got (while playing bf3)

fan 1 - 2780 rpm
fan 2 - 0 rpm
fan 3 - 1000 rpm
fan 4 - 700 rpm
fan 5 - 0 rpm

Should fan 2 and 5 be at 0? Also like I said the fans have been louder over the past couple of days (sounds like they're trying to keep things cool)

on the right it's got

GPU - 73C
Temp 1 - 30C
Temp 2 - 25C
Temp 3 - 54c
HD0 - 32C
TEMP 1 - 30C
TEMP 2 - 30C
CORE 0 - 62C
CORE 1 - 55C


I don't know if that means anything to you?!

I've been playing some more, I bumped my settings down to High and my GPU seems to steady at 57C, and my cpu around the 60C area. My comp is still not performing as well as it was a few day ago.. but I've kind of given up caring now. I've kinda got used to the fan noise.
