    Say Processor Overheat is a number from 0 to infinity and is the axis of the graph. Please produce a graph of fun value versus Processor Draw. I downloaded the free Risk game and it irritated me that this simple game has my processor overheating. They
    did nice graphics and all, but is it really necessary to fry the video card?

    Someone here said that it is not necessarily a matter of RAM quantity. Like
    if you have 16 GB RAM (or insert a more appropriate higher value) that doesn't necessarily mean you won't get a bumpy ride. What is it a matter of then? I evaluated this computer based on the 12 GB RAM. That was a pretty good jump over the 8 GB RAM I
    had three years ago.

    Finally, am I overreacting? My fan may be loud, yet perhaps fans are durable.

    No, I really think that games should tone down the superlative graphics.
    But it's probably just worrying too much about the fan. I've only had one
    fan malfunction so far. It was when I had Civ 5 in the background and
    it took off. I think there was also a low power issue that time too because the computer was unplugged. What I really need is a new gaming computer.
    Dell gaming computers are from $1100. That's not bad. What brand
    do you use? I have to go shine up my chrome.
