The CPU is usually at about 40 or 50% or so. Sometimes it goes higher |
| 19 |
but I can usually watch a video while emerge is running as far as CPU |
| 20 |
time goes, although emerge takes longer that way. |

I'm wondering if the card may be getting hot and slowing down because of |
| 23 |
that? i replaced the heat sink a good while back and I got more than |
| 24 |
enough cooling on the case. The heat sink has a fan and maybe it is not |
| 25 |
turning or something. I did blow out the dust a while back and I do |
| 26 |
have filters over the intakes to help some. |
