    Well, I have been experiencing weird FPS drops. I play these games at all very high : TF2 at 150+ FPS, and L4D2 at 60+ FPS. BUT, in Medal of Honor, I get around 20~30 all high! can some one help me out here?

    Oh, and another question, is there a way to turbo boost manually, because when I play MoH, it doesnt even use the whole 2.8GHz of turbo boost! and I bet if it used all the 2.8GHz, it will be fine, and there wont be FPS drops.

    Help please!

    Oh and whats better:

    Power4Gear Super Performance or
    Power4Gear Games

    I also have the n61jq and when running on high performance mode, it get about 30-40 fps on the new MOH beta. Now, that's not 60 fps, but you have to remember, tf2 and l4d2 are both running on modified source engines which are a little older. MOH is a brand new game is a bit more demanding, so getting 40 fps with everything maxed isn't too shabby. Also, the core i7 can only turbo boost up to 2.8 ghz if it's only using one core. Since MOH is a pretty new game, I would guess that it's designed to take advantage of at least 2 or more cores, meaning the highest clock speed you would see out of them is something like 2.4 or 2.2 ghz.

    you can use "SetFSB" to manually overclock your CPU, but you must choose the right "PLL".
