(AMD)Unlocking Cores/Stability and Sluggish
Finally got my new system built up and took the gamble and was able to unlock the extra two cores on an AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition @3.2GHZ now (X4) and when its running this thing is blazing fast!!! But randomly it starts to slow down tremendously. This meaning, text will appear a few secs. after I enter it, my pointer blinks across the screen, and programs will take a while to start up. And sometimes after a few minutes it goes back to regular fast speed. Could this be a problem due to unlock the extra cores or something else?
SPECS:
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO Mobo
AMD Phenom II X2 (X4) Black Edition 555 CPU
4GB (2x2) G. Skill Rip Jaw Memory at 1600 Mhz
Coolermaster V8 Heatsink (When I have it cranked up says its only going 700-800 RPM even though max is supposed to be 1800?)
BFG Tech. 550 watt PSU (Maybe too low?)
nVidia 9800 GTX+ 1gb grphics card
Seagate 1TB HHD @ 7200 rpm/ 500gb WD HDD at 7200 RPM
As always, thanks for any and all help or tips!
