well, well, well.... shooting up to 100% for a second while your program is starting is OK, such trouble is no (especially if the graph is correct an you haven't done anything taxing to your CPU)... my bet would be on thermal throttling - had about the same problems when I kinda forgot to plug...

Final Fantasy VI. Because of Kefka, the best mad clown there is: "Life...Dreams...Hope...Where do they come from? And where do they go? None of that junk is enough to fulfill your hearts! Destruction...Destruction is what makes life worth living! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Let's destroy...

are you on a laptop? if so, then audioquest dragonfly would be a nice toy :D also, sound blaster has some nice usb sound cards...

well, what's the fun of knowing stuff if you don't plan on trying it? heh, here are some general pointers: 1st, you need to figure out how to get the cables out from the fridge without damaging the insulation very much (it is good thing to have the dvd rom and the psu on the fridge. also a good...

sure it is possible. back in the days (last millennium and the era of 266/300MHz celerons) people tried to cool their machines in various ways. so a jury rigged water cooling based off a engine water pump was fairly common and some of us even tried their luck with a fridge/freezer. there are a...

yes you should... because of manufacturing tolerances, no surface is perfectly flat. thus you use the paste to fill the gaps between the cpu and cooler. new cooler means different gaps to fill :D

storing rainbows :D

as stolen from somewhere else> FRTC will try and cap the frame rate to whatever you set it to. The clock speeds on the card will be automatically dynamically adjusted based on what is needed to maintain that frame rate at any given time. So if the demand is lower, then the card will downclock...

well, 1, the game heavily depends on gpu and gt730 is a lot weaker than the gtx260, so if it starts, it may be a stutter-fest (if not outright unplayable) 2, the game likes to use 4 threads, so it will max out the dual core you have and then it will stutter a bit due to cpu limitations...

well, you can install without any problems core2quad cpus - just check with your mobo, what cpus it accepts. anything newer and you need to consider new motherboard too (and should you go with 2011-3 or skylake, you should consider new ram too)

look in your audio settings for something like this: > set bass redirection to enable > set crossover frequency to about 80

$250 is usually under the line where is viable to build a pc on your own. a prebuild pc will probably be better and cheaper (because big manufacturers buy stuff in bulk and thus way cheaper)

@AndrewJacksonZA: well, let's just say I'm some sort of a irl Wolf character from Pulp Fiction... so, I guess, during the last ~10 years some random stuff about project, production and quality management (especially the last one) stuck on me.
