That too.

re-seating still wouldn't hurt....mate. There's nothing wrong with your choice of PSU so sufficient power shouldn't be a problem.

Define "a while back". I'd be cleaning out the "some time" and "while back" dust and re-seating all your hardware.

I use one to clean an older PC. But i don't give two shits about that machine. Anyway....never had a problem and still runs fine.

I'm sure it has been landfill for many many years by now.

I bought a pre-built piece of junk about 25 years ago. The idea of building my own machine was a foreign concept to me.

1. Define needs 2. Determine budget 3. Research research research 4. Draft a build 5. More research 6. Update draft. 7. Research research research 8. Order parts in most cost efficient way. 9. Wait impatiently 10. Build!

I find that for most hardware that yes they are more expensive. Though the cables are quite comparable to what Cablemod sells them for. However if you want fully customised cables, you would have to buy direct from Cablemod which then gets unjustifiably expensive for me.

You might see some modest changes with changing the thermal paste. Has anything else changed in your system? Was has the temp gotten up to under load?

Fan is running? Is it dirty/dusty?

Never heard of it. Wouldn't buy it.

Don't get me wrong..the cables are kickass.

I know PCCG. They are ok. Sorry I was referring to if I wanted to customise. I should have elaborated.
