U Lucky ... my Q6600 is a heat magnet, damn thing ran hot from stock.... would peak at about 69C with the stock cooler..... Now, In summer when ambient in my PC room is about 30C (no aircon :() I get to about 55C max, usually idle about 13C hotter than ambient.

It's because you chose the wrong CPU to OC. My QX9650 had decent temps as well @ 4Ghz. :D Idle temps

OCZ Vendetta 2 cooler.
 
Hell the q6600 was like the first C2Q to hit the country .. I got it way back then .. 4yrs now ?

Right now its starting to cool down in durbs, 29C ... My cores are all sitting between 35 & 39 C at idle...

Morning guys.

So I took out my 250GB, reinstalled Windows on my 500GB and voila - 60 - 70 FPS without touching the CPU.

On the 250GB it took about 45 minutes to install Windows 7 X 64, on the 500GB took me about 20 minutes. HUGE improvement on performance. I think the drive was just a bit stuffed.

It still takes me a while to get into the game itself, but that is processor. At least I am not getting in when some guy has 3 kills already.
 
For interest sake, I took vertical synch off to see what my GPU can push, It averages between 55fps and 75fps, it peaks at about 95fps, lowest being about 45fps. Only thing is i get "tearing" with the synch off.....

Nice quick fix there Slaughter ... alltho its no really "quick" to do reload of everything ;)

Only took about 1 and a bit hours. I started the install of BO and went for my game of squash - when I came back it was done... :)
 
Well, that should keep you happy till you get your SB. :)

I have noticed that on prestige 11 you unlock new face paint. :)

Should yes... :)

But as my friend always seems to remind me I want to spend R4K on a rig and expect R10K's performance... ;)

Why didn't you just backup your steamapps folder?

Should yes... :)

Then you have to OC. ;)
 
N is or rather was sG... Stiger, secret etc... They are definately gonna be one of the top teams...

KK 1st and DSW 1st are very strong teams... I know :p

But their second teams are less intimidating... Should be fun playing them. The binds are a bit stupid if you as me though...
 
also if you guys struggle to hear someone coming as I do you can also enhance the audio by typing in the console /snd_losocclusion 0

Or just get a pair of Logitech G35's. 7.1 surround works like a charm. Sound is VERY accurate and I can almost always pin point the movement of the enemy just by listening.
