    Yes i noticed that tanware, very mild :p lol. Man im not afraid to push it close to its max, ive got the video ram all pasted up and it runs very cool. Guess ill just play around with it and see what I get , thx.
    I didnt think the GTX upgrade would make a difference between the 9800gts, mainly the cpu being the bottleneck. But yes , it has boosted performance quite a bit, increased FPS and you can tell its alot better quality for games, objects stay in focus, i dont come across objects in game that havent focused in yet anymore, very very smooth now.
