Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. If it is, please advise the proper forum.
I have a dedicated gamer, used mainly for playing cod4 online. Problem is, when I first get online, I can move very well. My character gets round the maps pretty fast at first. I don't pwn people, being a relative noob. But I have noticed that as I play, my response in the game gradually slows down until I feel like I am moving in molasses. I get beat by people I pounded when I first started up. If I shut down the machine for a couple of hours, she comes right back to life. then the whole slowdown thing starts all over.
Motherboard: Intel DX48BT2
CPU E8400 3.0 gig. overclocked to 3.5 gig using processor overrides only
Memory 4 gigs Patriot DDR3 PVS34G1333LLK
OS : XP64
Video card: ATI Radeon 4890xoc, Diamond version.
Vid card overclocked a little: gpu 940mhz, memory 1130 mhz.
All overclocking of cpu done using cpuz, prime95 to get stable overclock
Overclocking of video card done using GPUTool and Furmark. Not together. Used furmark first, then switched to gputool.
Video card fan control sucks unless you keep it on manual. I run it at 100 percent fan speed.
Three extra fans under manual speed control for general cpu and box cooling.
CPU runs max temps during game of 43 and 41 C on core 0 and core 1, using CPUID hardware monitor.
GPU temp harder to monitor, but it has popped up over 44 degrees C that I have been able to catch.
At Idle, GPUTool reports the following temps:
GPU Temp. (DISPIO) 32.5 C
GPU Temp. (MEMIO) 40.0 C
GPU Temp. (SHADERS) 35.5 C
Does anyone out there have any experience with this type of slowdown? Is it temperature related (cooler on vid card will be changed out as soon as Arctic has new cooler -unless someone has a better suggestion), or is something else going on? Or did I just screw it up somewhere and am too dumb to figure it out?
