That's a drag, must have pounded on it a bit to hard in the day. did you try dropping the 9550 in ........... ?

I suspect you are right...I just recently picked these two up. Was watching it a moment ago at default settings with only Realtemp and cpu-z windows open on desktop...at idle it was drawing nearly 26% load lol.

EDIT: I was letting it run and walked in to check on it...it's now drawing up to 60% load at idle haha.

Yeah, still fiddling with it. Going to swap ram and see what it will do.

Runs very smoothly, but doubt I will be able to run it further on air. This Boreas doesnt get as cold as it once did.
