yea your case has plenty of fans, and those 180 MM fans on the top and it looks like you have one in the front move air like a ceiling fan.

118, not so bad on a stock cooler, you can drop it 10F with just a simple aftermarket I have one of these it was cheap and works good.


So like corey during game play you should see your temps to up to 130 / 140

grab coretemp, you can set it to auto start and sit in your system tray... it also can be set to display Fahrenheit.

my 3.4 stays around 88 idle and 110 in game play.. hottest I've seen it get was 120. But this is a lower wattage CPU cause im working more then gaming.
My case temps are pretty cold so I'll probably end up disconnecting this side fan since it's big as hell, and it's a pain to remove the side door off the case since the cord is short on the fan.

I think they're trying to integrate them together. I played dirt 3 last night on my PC (It was free with my vidcard), and I logged in with my xbox live gamer tag, and my xbox live friends list popped up on my PC. All the achievements I acquired in dirt 3 were all added to my xbox live gamerscore as well. I was also able to communicate with my xbox live friends through the PC.

I think this is only available on "Games for Windows" games though.

I think you have always been able to play xbox live arcade games on win 7 phones.

Yeah, it was weird, because it had an xbox live interface, and I had to launch it with steam so I had the steam interface within that as well.

I haven't done a whole lot, just a few games of counter strike, and a couple of dirt 3.

My controller has been here for a couple days.

One benefit of amazon is free two day shipping.

any game on steam that says "controller enabled" works perfect with that thing.

I haven't tried with a controller. My wrists would probably be happier if I did, but I've become pretty mouse/keyboard oriented now. I tried a controller on BF3 the other day, yeah I got wiped out fast. My cousin recommend I try it as his buddy just jumped from consoles to PC and did alright, yeah I don't anymore.

Although *gasp* I did play Black Ops one night this summer on a friends 360. I played a three way deathmatch with him and my gf who both play the game. I beat them for two rounds. Then we went online, yeah I died a lot. Thought it was funny though when it was just the three of us that I took them both out, never having played it. :ha

Seriously though, you should give Battlefield a try. Close Quarters is very MWish..... That was the last expansion that came out.

all that clicking and mouse pointing wouldn't be fast enough with a controller. I couldn't imagine trying to get that arrow over some stuff to pickup worth a crap.
