nope temp is low 50's under load. i have some extra fans on the case.
plus sh3 is the only program running wierd / slow. R:tw runs great.
I may just end up on shore for awhile untill i get my new comp put together in a couple months. although i am almost certain it is a software type conflict somewhere. the annoying thing is i played sh3 on this comp some time ago and it worked fine! that is what grinds on me.
