@ltcoljaxson: Since my GPU temps seem OK, I don't think I need to upgrade my case. I like that my case is relatively small as it's in my living room connected to my TV. Hoping that if I run the AMD Overdrive monitor my temps will be OK. Thanks for the advice though.

After doing a little more research, I found a post on Tom's Hardware that had a similar setup. The advice was to run a different temperature monitoring program (AMD Overdrive) instead of what I'm running (CPUID). Apparently AMD Overdrive gives more accurate readings at full load. Can anyone confirm this? CPUID said that my GPU was only running at 50 degC right after I quit AC4. I believe that this is an OK temperature?

Experienced PC builders, I need some advice. I was playing Assassin's Creed 4 and it sounds like all of my fans are running at max. I stopped playing after about 30 minutes and checked the temps and my CPU was up to 95 degC. I let it settle down and it was running at about 50 degC. I left it on overnight to run my online backup and checked it again this morning and it was sitting at 70degC. I think I need a new cooler (I've been using the stock thus far without any problems). Here's my part list. I started researching and it looks like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO has great reviews, but I'm concerned about the size. Anybody know if it will fit in my case? Are there better options? I don't really want to move up to water cooling at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks duders.

I bought the recent humble weekly sale which included a steam code for Jamestown. Since I have it, I figured I'd share it with someone. Anybody want it? Why should you be the one who gets it?

Everybody already bought everything on Steam? Surprised this feed doesn't have more activity. I just built a PC a couple weeks ago and have been looking forward to the Steam sale. Picking up Skyrim, Sleeping Dogs, and Antichamber!

@budwyzer: I used speedtest.net. That's how I saw what my download was. I also ran the test while Steam was closed so that isn't putting me down.

@tycobb: I miss typed...I am getting less than 1Mbps. It's definitely slow. Was trying to download a small game on Steam (<500 MB) and it said it would take like 4 days. Something is definitely wrong.

@korwin: Thanks for the help? Was it really worth responding with that?
