Graphics Card Suggestion?

[cloakster]

Anyways, congratz on the new video card and thx for actually posting back when you got it (unlike the other ppl on these forums). Enjoy

Couple of questions for the smart people,my computer speed seams to have slowed about 5-10% after i installed the new psu and GPU, is this normal? not too much of a diff,but its a noticeable change, considering i use this pc all day every day.

and when i finally decided to reboot,i got the msg "Your Processor Fan Has Malfunctioned,Shutting Down,Service Pc Immediately" about 2-3 times then it finally booted up been afraid to shut down sense,i have checked all my fans and they are running fine,just an error because of the comp getting used to the changes? or...should i be worried..

You may have bumped something when you were inside the case installing the new gear. I would shut it down and go inside and make sure all the fan connectors are secure.

yep i got everything plugged in,i have shut down multiple times since last night and havent got the error again,i can still tell a bit of diff in the processing speed of it...like apps take a few secnds longer to open etc...no big deal,but u know what i mean, when your used to your setup u can tell when even the slightest thing is diff..

If the CPU is overheating, it will probably be running a bit slower. When its on, check if the fan for the CPU is spinning properly and make sure that its blowing air on the CPU and not away from it

And if you took the CPU heat sink off, make sure you reapplied the thermal grease between the processor and sink.
