Alrighty, a while back some forumites helped me with my system build. Well, I now have that computer up and running!
Here are some specs, then I have some questions!
Gigabyte P35-DS3R mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Conroe 2.13ghz
2gb Crucial Ballistix pc26400
geforce 8800GTS 320mb
Antec 900
Antec Trio 650W PSU
WD 250gb SATA HDD
22inch widescreen Hanns G monitor
Think that about covers it! First of all, thanks to all who helped! Now, I have some questions.. my system temperature is around 32-35c, and my CPU temperature in the bios is idle at around 28-32c. I am pretty sure that is fine, but is there a way to tell the temp when under load? Also, what about overclocking? I had overclocked it to 2.4Ghz, and the temp went up to 35-40c.. wasn't sure if that was good, so went ahead and set it back down. Any input here? Using stock cooling.
Also, I installed Oblivion, and it's incredible, but I've heard people getting over 40fps with all details maxed out. In dense forest areas, I seem to drop to 20-30, and even hit 10fps at one point. Is that bad? I planned on this card running Crysis with all details maxed... Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal and Oblivion is just a system hog?
And, anyone know a program that will allow me to overclock my GPU slightly?
Thanks for all the help!!
