Since you have to use sc2 in windowed mode when streaming, it makes sense to disable aero. Having aero on should have no effect on sc2 performance in fullscreen (when only one screen is in use that is).

It might not make sense with R1CH's setup, but it surely does when you have trouble running the game with decent fps. Also, and I might be a little sensitive about things like that, I can easily tell the difference between 40 and 50 fps (let alone huge fps drops for a second). | ||

I have a i5-2500k and I just use a 24/7 overclock to 4.4ghz- especially since I have a pretty decent chip and it's stable at 1.22v, there is really no reason not to have it overclocked, since it's not like I'm "shortening the lifespan" of the chip at that voltage, and I get low temperatures with a simple $20 (after rebate) air cooler. Maybe it draws more power, but that's probably very negligible. there is a very big reason to not do thi and its the energy waste. | ||
