    Ubisoft Uplay Rootkit

    Theres one more thing you can add to malware... Won't (or can't easily) uninstall. Which is true of this particular piece of malware.

    Ubisoft Uplay Rootkit

    I don't know much about IE, but in Firefox I checked tools/Add-ons/Plugins, and sure enough there are two, UPlay PC 1.0.0.0 and UPlay PC Hub Plugin 1.0.0.1 . Uninstalling the game (in my case Silent Hunter5) won't remove the plugins.

    What should my next upgrade be?

    Well a hairdryer isn't a cpu, so I don't know how well your results are going to translate, and I'm no real expert on the subject anyway.

    Yup, I even tried some different brands as well. But I was able to get the situation sorted out.

    Well Initially it had me in a quandary until I pulled out the engineers square and checked the bases of my heatsinks. The Cooler Master was okay, but the OEM heatsink was warped. I then tried the 212evo with a different cpu (a 95W Athlon II x3), and it preformed just fine at normal settings for...

    When I had the Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo on my 8150 I was having to under volt the cpu and drop the multiplier to keep it from frying to a crisp.
