So, i have a core i7 930. For the 2 and a half years i have had it, it has always worked fine and it provides great performance, but i can't help but think something is up. Games are never very smooth, audio cuts in and out, microstuttering in many games, i am not able to overclock it past 3.2 gHz or system will not boot, crossfire performance is negative in every game i play no matter what, and in windows, the screen periodically will hiccup when just loading folders and such. I think it has gradually been getting worse though. Surprisingly, temperatures are a lot lower than other i7s though, so it's sort of got me stumped. Idles around 28-35 depending on the day. Anyone have any ideas? Could it be something else? I'm not a computer genius, but i know my way around every component, as I've built my own system and it just feels like the processor is slowly degrading.
All help is appreciated!
Thanks.
