CAM software hogging your resources.

HeyGuys

 

So I've been using CAM (from NZXT) as my main temp/load monitor tool ever since I got my dual x61's. Now since it's starting to become colder here I'm overclocking my CPU/GPU. For testing my GPU I was using Heaven and CAM to monitor temps. But since CAM would bug out and freeze I started using MSI Afterburner.

 

First thing I noticed was the HUGE improvement in performance. So I figured I'd do some more testing. 

 

My test:

 

I'm running my i7 4790K at 4.6GHz (1.250V) and my EVGA 780ti SC at 87°C temp goal, +70MHz clock and +200MHz memory.

With both of these overclocks I ran a Heaven benchmark test. Once with CAM open and once with CAM closed. This was the result.

 

 

So yea, I'm not going to use CAM anymore to monitor my temps/loads.
