Well my temps under load are around 50 degrees? Iv got artic 5 thermal paste and going to reapply, if thats the case would reapplying new thermal paste fix the issue?

Ohhh maybe its this. As when i tried pulling the ide wire out of the cheap sata to ide adapter the little plastic part of the ide cable snapped off. Nothing happened to this wire itself but the plastic thing that holds it together. Maybe could be this?

Iv checked playthroughs. One is smoother at times then mine (has some stuttering through) and the other video is one from like 12 years ago and has quite a lot of stuttering, to be honest either the same or more. So im stumped on whats normal. If one playthrough is stuttery is it having issues as well? only good point, is that the playthrough from 2010 lagging is the xbox is newer at that time and less likely to stuff up. if its the caps, which ones would it be? Would i have to get a meter or something?

Hey people! Just wondering how much level of stutter in games is normal compared to say an issue with cpu or psu caps? Im pulling my hair out in trying to tell if my stuttering is normal as it’s an old console with a max frames of 30 or if i need to sort an issue out. Iv sinked a bit of money into this and would love to have some clarification and closure. Note: Softmodded with rocky5 1.1 revision xbox Hard drive swapped to a WD 2tb hdd EZRZ (ending serial) Upgraded 80 wire ide cable Cheap sata to ide adapter No boot up or power issues and disc drive works well and responsively Main games iv tested are only splinter cell CT and halo CE (which i understand are demanding games and do drop fps) What is normal? And what isnt? Would a video of said games stutter help? How is the gameplay meant to look on a healthy console? Please advise me guys! Thanks
