Right off the bat with what you have 500 watts is bare minimum. I would suggest you should be around 850 minimum.

Now that we're working our way up, here are a few other questions. Can you find out the Mobo manufacturer and model? Next is, did you upgrade your power supply and what wattage rating is it?

Most BIOSes allow you to set your case fan speed to maximum. If not, there is third party software that can do it, but I would recommend the former option, if possible (i.e., via BIOS).

Did you replace the motherboard also? The 8 core processor wasn't released until 2014. Here is an Intel article.
Without doing some research and what model Mobo you have, the 8 core shouldn't be compatible with a 2003 board let alone fit in the socket.

Snip:. Processor AMD FX 8350 eight core processor
How did you get an 8 core processor into a 2003 Mobo? Not 100% sure but I don't think they were available then unless you meant 2013.

Or they will change it and make it stack so it can be stripped like Stability
-
It's only available in China unless something has changed I'm unaware of.
-
-
There is a vendor in the Priory in Lonars Pass that sells them.
-
Only allow core traits in WvW...

Bump.....?

It has been asked for many times. You'll be told to bind your skills to keys.

Bump... Still looking for active players on Devona's Rest. I know you are out there!!!

As Haley said:
Basically if the first attack lands, the 2nd will follow and then the 3rd.
Edit: Under each skill will show a red range meter. If you are out of range for the skill to hit (red bar) the 2nd and 3rd attacks will not follow.

On the web site yes and the codes are sent to your registered Anet email address.
Don't hold me to that, wait for someone else to verify.
-
If I'm not mistaken, all you have to do is purchase them and give your friend the codes that are sent to you.

Some just....

Wouldn't that require skill animations?

Yes, "SOP".

I enjoyed watching the resurrected bodies running out of SMC during that. GG peeps!!!

The more we scream "NO" the faster we'll get them...

You could fall asleep.
Why my video card run so hot?

I'm running Intel 4 core with Radeon vid card, 16gb of ramm, Windows 7 is on a standard Seagate hd, GW2 is on a separate SSD. I'm running an 1100 watt psu. I have 10 fans in my case. I never could do liquid cooling mixed with electricity thing. My wife actually told me the power meter outside speeds up every time I play, lol.
