I use Norton, but there are members here that are using it. On a side note, I disabled all my overclock and went to stock. California weather got as high as 106 degrees out and our house don't have AC. My computer was cooking at 48 degrees idling and whenever I do something, it goes up into the 50's. That's the CPU.

I went to stock and dropped the Vcore to 1.5, reduce RAM timings, went back to stock GPU frequency, and stock PCIe clock. Significant 7 degrees drop in temperature.

During the winter time, it's ok to overclock because overall ambient temp is much, much cooler. Just not now. Too hot out. That's my expeience with overclocking. It's fun to get a high 3dmark score but if it's going to result in your PC going bad, then that's a whole other reason.

That's why. Bay area isn't known to have sweltering heat like in the Inland Empire. Today, weather got as high as 105 degrees!!!

Yeah, the inlands are really hot. I was already sweating like a fountain at a swim meet today.
