Hey guys.
So... I've recently bought the Hyper 212+ heatsink after hearing about what a good deal it is considering how well it performs. The temps seem alright... Not TOO much improvement from the stock heatsink. But the main problem is that my PC seems to run slow. When I try to run games such as Fallout New Vegas or Team Fortress 2, it seems to take much longer to load than it used to on the old stock heatsink. I saw online that it could be because I didnt install the screws tightly enough so I redid everything (even reapplied Artic Silver thermal compound) but still the same problem. Any ideas or solutions?
*Also, I'm having these issues on stock settings, I have not overclocked at all.
My specs:
AMD Phenom II x4 965
Radeon HD 6950
seagate 500gb hdd
2x2gb ram
