I just upgraded my 1.63GHz Core 2 Duo to a 2.4GHz E6600. That's got that VIIV technology. My ripped Arrested Development episodes are blocky, washed out and appear to be more pixelated. Also, when using VLC Media Player, the videos often are monochromatic [a sort of purple overlay].
Another problem with this upgrade is that it causes my fans to spin up to "Jet Turbine" levels, even though the processor is only around 60 degrees, which isn't TOO hot.
I'm thinking of getting a nice new heatsink and fan combination, but are there any suggestions? Do you think this new processor is the reason the video quality has declined?
