Cool thanks for the info. I'm pretty excited to do the upgrade. I can play stuff now with pretty good eye candy but often get lots of stutter/lag. I think the Shapphire 7950 Vapor-x with boost and the 6300 will be a good combo for my brother(considering what he has now). BTW I moved the 7950...

No problem! I just glad there are people out there that offer the help!! It is weird tho isn't it? I'm gonna yank the video card I just replaced out of it and put the old one back in just for the heck of it and see. I never noticed this behavior before the video card swap(not that I really...

I'm going to be upgrading my CPU/MB here in the next few days so I'm just gonna let him have my old 6300 and MB. Just eliminate the whole thing lol, it's was a great cpu but time to retire it(the x3 cpu). Thanks much again for your time and help very much appreciated. Have a grand day/night. :)

Nope, no wifi card in system....

Hello again. Sorry been running around a lot. Here is that screen shot, hope you can see it ok. That number by System interrupts always stays at 29-32(bounces around a lot)

Ok I'll get that up here soon. I gotta run into town and do some errands, Thanks a bunch and I'll be back!!!!!

Well I went thru and disabled cores one at a time, different orders, etc.... Nothing, even with the main single core activated by itself it still makes that one core run all the time(looking at the performance tab in task manager). Should there be a reason that that happens? I really...

Well I ran all kinds of things and nothing but some cookies were found. I've taken the overclock off and it's still the same. Could it be that one of the other non-locked cores would be going bad, does this point to pretty much a failing cpu? It's a real noggin scratcher.... It's a pretty...

OK going to try that, I went into the resource monitor in windows(7 SP1 x64) and the only thing that has anything under CPU(guessing that's usage) is system interrupts and that number bounces between 23 and 31. This is weird.... Thanks for the reply, will be back to report....

Hello all. I just was messing around with my brother's computer and I noticed that when I go to the task manager and click the performance tab it shows his last core always being used(looks like 100%). The cpu is an AMD Phenom x3 720. I had the 4th core unlocked and had been running ok. Well I...

How's your setup run the latest games(if ya game that is...) logainofhades? Just noticed you have a 770 2gb also.

Awesome! As soon as my refund gets here it's mine!! lol I'll def post back on my experience and all. Thanks a lot for your quick and helpful replies.

Hi and thanks for the reply. So I was looking around and found this combo, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1739932 it does comes with a stick of memory, but I can just give that to my bro to put with the 6300 and mobo this bundle is replacing.... I'd...

Hello all. Long time visitor 1st time posting..... I had a quick question. I'm looking to do a bit of an upgrade and was wondering which route would I benefit most from. I tried to put my system specs in my profile but I couldn't. So here is my setup: AMD FX-6300@4.2ghz /w CoolerMaster...
