I just upgraded my motherboard, RAM, and CPU for Christmas.
My new motherboard is a Rampage Formula 3 model for an LGA 1366 CPU.
My CPU is a LGA 1366 Intel Core i7 950 at 3.06 GHz.
My RAM is new triple channel G.Skill 1x3 GBs installed in their respective triple channel slots.
Now first my problem was overheating the CPU, it would only stay on for a half minute or so and then say CPU High Temperature or something and shut off. I installed another fan and that allowed the system to stay on (although it's still running hot..84 degrees C) but thats not my question. When I go in to the Task Manager I see the Physical Usage at around 50% when all is running is Internet Explorer, Steam (no games) and MSN. Not enough applications to use Physical Memory at such a high percent, or atleast i thought so... am I right? Is there something wrong with the Physical Memory or is this a side affect of the CPU running so hot?
Any help is appreciated
