I added water to new system after the first week.  Stock Intel fan idle at 42°C and at 53°C after a few hours of use.  Water idle is 28°C and after several hours is under 31°C.   Pinnacle rendering on new is running around 55°C ..........I remember something like 75-85°C on air alone, but did not record exact temperature before ...

The Opener - AutoHotKey   (Forgot to mention - - -  it is FREE) http://www.visitthesaint.com/software/the-opener/ Awesome program for cleaning up a desktop.  I have three Openers that I use.  Programs, Documents and Poker (I used to play a ton of online poker as a hobby).  The poker Opener is a good example of the ...

wow to both.  I never use the start menu myself to open any program so you are probably correct.  I use an edited AutoHotKey program that lists all my frequently used programs and allows me to open many programs at one time.  I was suggesting that within a started Pinnacle17 window, I can't find anywhere to start the screen ...

David Hunt:It's included with Studio 17 .   For the noob, the screen capture program is not found anywhere within the Pinnacle menu.  To start Screen Capture, you need to navigate to the Pinnacle folder on your hard drive.  From there,  find the LiveScreenCapturing subfolder.  Inside there is the program. C:\  ...

Just my opinion. I concur, you graphics card is fine for Pinnacle. With the new Intel X chips out (yesterday Aug 29) that require a new mobo, there will be a lot of first gen-type enthusiasts that will be upgrading systems within the next few weeks.  You may be able to buy a slightly used Z87-mobo system for cheap.  Get friendly with ...
