    I have set to optimised settings, do you want screen shots of CPUID whilst under load and idle again?

      Check them for yourself by all means but see how the computer behaves first, don`t believe in making work for people unless necessary.

      Have you looked into the front cooling fan yet.

          Also I cleaned the front intake filter and it was not pretty, I plan on getting some fans for the front in order to improve air flow and I am also going to clean my CPU heat sink since it has so much dust on it that most of the air is blowing out the sides instead of through it.

            Sounds like a plan:thumbsup: the pull/push method of cooling allows the cool, clean air to be drawn in across the hardware and exhausted out of the back of the chassis taking a lot of the dust etc with it.

            You are welcome btw and thanks again for the follow up
