Computer Build

alright. its just that i dont hear it ramping up much at all. now in MSI bios, theres an option to control the fan like. it will try to keep it at a certain temp and adjust the fan to what you choose to keep it there

so i guesss all this stuttering and micro lag in my games is due to having only 1 ram stick and not being able to run in dual channel mode even though im only using 3.5gb max at times?

The fact you don't hear it hopefully means the extra revolutions the fan is spinning is still below the ambient noise threshold.

alright. there is really no way to measure temp because all my programs are reading 8 degrees C at idle....

i started following black vipers service guide.

If that's the black viper I am thinking of... I think the consensus here is to avoid messing with Win7 like that. Windows 7 does not need any particular optimization to run fine like say XP or Vista did. Unused services get frozen automatically and don't impact performance the same way they did in XP.

i just wanted to barebones as much as possible. this computer goes on the internet, and plays games lol. thats pretty much it for now. in the future it will probs be my main PC

Dunno mate, what games you playing and at what settings?

mainly farcry 3 and BF3 are the biggest notices. bf 3 i think is a mix between really poor internet speed but farcy3 shouldent have that problem. fc3 im believe im at high for all settings and 2x AA

alright ill take a lok at that! thanks! but when i get the other stick of ram, performance will increase quite a bit correct? also a new router lol
