It's gotten about to the point where I can't use my intuos3 in photoshop. When I try to do small lines like with the pencil or smudge tool, the cpu shoots up to 50-60% on both cores and I have to run the fans at about 5000 rpm to keep it from getting to be 80C. (I even made a new setting in smcspeed fan called 'photoshop lol'. my usual setting of 2500 rpm usually keeps it about 55C while web browsing etc).
I've been googling things the last couple of days and it really doesn't seem that anything helps even though a lot of people seem to have this problem. I've updated the drivers from wacom, checked photoshop's brush settings, and adjusted the sensitivity on the tablet, but it still goes to insanely high cpu usage and temperatures.
I wouldn't really notice it but it makes the brush strokes laggy as hell (even on small documents) and I can hear the fans speeding up. I hate that sound, it makes me freakout 'oh no, whats wrong ;.;'
any ideas? anyone get anything more useful out of google? Or is a 2.4gz core duo; 2gb ram not sufficient for these purposes? because you'd think that it was!
[the thread icon is representative of what will happen to my internal hardware components if photoshop keeps pushing the temps to 80C]
oh scratch that, it's high cpu usage even with the track pad. seriously, what the hell is up with this? :[
