Another question for you all. Do you think pumping up the eye candy
settings both in the WoW video options screen and settings at the
windows level (e.g., pushing up AA, mipmap, etc..) that this would
result in the CPU running hotter? I know that the dedicated PCIe
video card would be doing most of the work but doesn't the CPU also
work have to harder as the GPU is required to do more work?
Leaving aside that the video card will itself get hotter, which will raise
temperatures on the whole system unless you have an isolated video card
bay, the answer is still probably yes. There's some nominal processor cost
for increasing detail, even though the video card does most of the work.
You've got plenty of headroom though.
A couple things though:
- Raise the temp cutoff in your bios to 65C. AMD chips run hot, and it's
possible that sensors could spike, resulting in a needless shutdown.
- If you use an LCD panel, don't turn on AA settings - they're pretty much
wasted. *
