    Well I ran a few different monitoring programs while playing Bad Company 2. First off, with the programs running the entire computer froze, twice, after playing for about 20 minutes. Didnt happen before, which is odd.

    The CPU reached about 75-80% of its max according to task manager.

    The GPU was at 100% at all times according to GPU-Z.

    Using HWMonitor to check temperatures I found that the GPU was running at a max 91 degrees, CPU max 51 degress and system max 39 degrees. I dont know how accurate the system temperature is though?

    I have my fans at the lowest speed, basically because they sound like jet engines up high. By the way, is there any way of increasing fan speed without having to physically switch them to 'high' within the case?

    Its an approximate value for the system tempretures, they will be there or there abouts (2-3c)

    For most GPUs 91 Degrees is way too hot, you can turn the fan up with MSI Afterburner for most graphics cards
