My computer's been having issues for quite some time, major performance problems in games, and so on. Initially I thought it was my graphic's card (6800 Ultra) but I now believe that to be ok.
My processor is idling at 89 degrees(!). And yes, that is celsius. Just browsing with firefox can bring it up to 94(!). I'm using the prepackaged heatsink and fan, but i'm wondering if this is a problem with the processor itself, or just a faulty heatsink/fan.
Also, could somebody reccomend me an affordable heatsink/fan to replace what is possibly a faulty one, and finally, can somebody confirm to me that this overheating is probably why I see such terrible FPS in generally low-end games (UT2k4, WoW etc).
Thanks.
