I've just went and bought 2 case fans and the situation improved a little. The CPU seems to idle at 50ºC now (it was idling at 57ºC). That's OK I guess because it's pretty hot today (34ºC or so).

peaking at 65 degrees on a hot day is nothing to be too worried about, but a better cooler is always a fine investment =) especially when you have alot of hot days.

Yeah I'll do that. Better spend a few bucks on a cheap case fan than having to buy another CPU. I didn't overclock it by the way.

Fun fact: I scavenged this CPU from my ex-work PC I bought when Ubisoft shut down

I have MW installed since forever but never got around to playing it. I think I'll run it for the first now, to check out that SW mod!

Worked like a charm, the performance gain so far is incredible.

However I'm worried it's running a little hot. It's idling at 57ºC and peaking at 65ºC, but the ambient temperature is really hot today too. I think I'll get a new case fan.

I play Quake 3 with a 110 FOV, don't have any trouble with that!

I'll be honest with you, I've never had a real problem with FOV in any game, I'm playing Dead Space currently with it's controversial FOV settings and it hasn't bothered me one bit. I seem to be in the minority here clearly...

Are you playing on PC or console? I don't mind narrow FOV in console games, but it's horrible in PC games.

messiahStudio was around forever

lmao

then it doesn't exist and you were trolled

Nice. I'll try and let you guys know if my PC explodes or something. Thanks!

Hey, I googled for this but couldn't find a definitive answer. I basically want to replace my CPU with a better one (just the CPU, not the mobo) and some people said that that could screw windows up. Has anyone here tried that before? I don't want to do a fresh install since that would be installing hundreds of updates and installing all the software crap again.

thanks, now having trouble opening it in photoshop. Have placed the .dll and .8bi into correct folders and reopened photoshop but can't find an VTF import option? tried opening a vtf but doesn't recognise file format.

Are you on Photoshop 64-bit? The plugin only works on PS 32-bit.

You will need GCFScape (to extract the files) and the Photoshop VTF plugin to open the files. You can find these on google.

bought myself a new wallet

played sim city 4 for the first time last night - only 20 minutes but it's neat that they've automated a few things.

Are you on Win 7? I tried to play SC4 Deluxe on Win 7 but it's so buggy it's barely playable.

Some great environment concept art from the game: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=207778

Please make more of this

I've just played Goldeneye on Wii thinking it would be the good ol N64 game with better graphics but guess what? It feels like another Call of Duty title. Fuck you activion.

That looks rad!
