I was just checking the other day if my case would support a TRUE. Removed the stock HSF and replaced(apparently improperly) and I ran P95 and after a short while temps. sky-rocketed. 95C was max. There was a foul smell from the case. Immediately cut the power. Opened the case, kept it under the fan. Reseated heatsink. Then when I switched it on, it was working like nothing had happened. Completely stable. Then when I was playing GTA San Andreas, there was an extreme lag. It used to run at 50+ fps and suddenly 2-3 fps. Kept fluctuating. Then I uninstalled it. Didn't play for a few days. When I reinstalled it from a another disc, it was running just fine. Since I had clamped my heatsink on one side(2 cores) and improperly on the other side(other 2 cores), I was wondering if some of the transistors had burnt? CoreTemp shows 100% load in all cores when I run P95. There's an equal temp. in all cores. Is there some way to test if my processor is completely okay?
