Slow PC Problems with Quad Core

That's normal, not idle not extreme busy.

I pasted on my CPU, first time really so I dunno if it was a lot or a little.

Those links... aren't for overclocking are they?

Unless you are playing a game, running a benchmark or doing some sort of encoding, then it can practically be considered as idle. I think 60c is too warm but im not sure if that has to directly do with your problem.

Ok, I wasn't doing any of those at the time.

Me either, but elimination before purchasing is always good.

Don't get what you mean, lol

Check it out (CPUID)

Your whole PC is running hot, even your hard drive is 10C hotter than mine. Try this, remove the side panel from the PC and set a house fan to blow directly into the case. Now start the PC up, run HW Monitor again and compare your temps again (post them for us to see also ).

Ok I can try. This is my case tho:

thats not glass either, thats all open xD

But my case side is pretty hot.

Ok, I moved my PC to the floor, found out the power cord was hardly in the slot in the power stripe, got a mess of cables, and new results (can't tell if it's good/bad)

That looks much better. Now with everything kept just like you have it now, try recording a HD Game Video and see if it performs better

It didn't still lag.
