(Note: If it turns out that I posted this in the wrong place, then I apologize in advanced). So I've been looking through my Uninstall Programs list and I realized that I have a ton of stuff on my laptop that I have no idea what they actually do. Not only that, I have no idea if I actually need half the stuff that is on it. So I took some screen caps of the list and put them together so that...

My system disk is about 80% filled up and I am looking to move the system files to a new disk for increased efficiency.

Hi So Installed a new GPU and a PSU and everything seems to be working fine. However I noticed when idel the CPU tempreture is 50+ and when playing a game it goes up to 90+, I turned it off of course as I do not want to risk blowing the cpu. Although I am not 100% certain I do believe the tempreture never really reached that high before I put in the new GPU. These tempretures are not safe...
