So i got the ps3 holiday bundle from bestbuy with the new ratchet and clank and little big planet. I have 60-70 bux to spend on a game. seeing as i have two platformers i want some action. basically my choice comes down to

uncharted 2

or

(2 of the following since there around 30 now)

infamous

killzone 2

resistance 2.

I have heard great things about uncharted 2 but i am not sure what to do. I could use some guidance. Thanks

So i have the antec 300 case with the two stock exhaust fans on medium. I had an old 2000 rpm fan acting as an intake fan on the front of the case. it was loud!! so i got 2 coolermaster silent 1200 rpm fans for the front. I figured these would perform better then one fan. However my cpu temp has increased from 54 under load to 59. First off should i even be worrying or just leave it. I have a couple options.

1. place the 2000 rpm fan on the side slot as an intake blowing on my mobo and video card

2. place it on the front and put one of the 1200's on the side

3. leave everything alone, as my comp is much more quiet

4. other suggestions?

If you do suggest putting the 2000 back in the front does it matter if its on top or bottom slot?

thanks

also, get the windows 7 release candidate if possible. Much faster overall.GenTom

Windows 7 upgrade came for free with my vista copy so im just waiting till then. Will i notice a fps increase in games like crysis? where every frame counts. also im running crysis on high settings no aa at 1680x1050 and i get around 30-40 fps. does that seem on par for my system?

so i just build a new rig last night.

phenom x3 720 (overclocked to x4 3.4ghz)

aftermark xigmatek hsf

4890.

when i open up any temperature monitor program such as speedfan or hwmonitor it shows that all my cores are at 0 degrees with temperatures 1,2,3 at around 34, 52, and 80? This is under full load.

Why do i not have any core readings?

What are temperatures 1-3

and why no matter what i am doing is temp 3 always 80?

thanks

I just got all my computer parts for my new build.

Phenom II x3 720 (going to overclock) (have aftermarket hsf)

saphire 4890 oc vapor x.

Do you think i will need to add additional fans to the front, or will the current ventilation system be suffice?
