[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 698815, member: 32547"] Yes, you are 100% correct about this. I am running streaming video at 1080 x 30 fps with no frame drop, but not 60 fps (huge drops). 720 x 60 fps is fine...no frame drop either. YouTube vids will play at 1080 although I haven't looked at frames yet...probably 30. The best part of finding this issue is seeing the decrease in processor usage. It's down to 20-30% running video, which surprised me. Didn't realize a stale connection or loose could cause the processor usage to drop so much. I still estimate in the end this processor would support 1080 x 60 fps if RAM were dual channel. However, I am very content with performance now, especially since the freezes appear to have ceased. Think I am finally getting everything possible from this PC. Again thanks for all the input to everyone... P.S.-One thing I really like about this system. It has a case fan in front that is mounted between the hard drives. Then it has the CPU fan, a rear fan and the PSU fan. There is a cowling to steer CPU heat out of the side of the case, and temps are very cool. Running video CPU temp is around 36C. Graphics card is at about 50C. Best part, drives are at 30C (main) and 24C respectively. Only the northbridge is high at 61C. :)(y) [/QUOTE]
