Uh oh...help

[Sovek]

will you listen, fan has died, still spins just not as good, replace the fan with this
http://www.xoxide.com/arctic-cooling-nv-...ion-2.html, my card never gets above 57C. Also a small amount of Artic Silver 5 is recomended.


WARNING, DO NOT ALLOW ASV TO CONTACT RESISTERS ON THE GPU, CAN KILL CARD

Thanks Sovek.

Even without running a game, my card is sitting at 106 degrees with just web surfing.

Does that fan replace the fan thats on the card?

Since I have a 6800GT I ordered an Arctic NV Silencer 3 9recommended on that site for my card)

[Covoxer]

Well, good luck with a new cooler!

[aristoteles]

In fact, you will be having 30-35º in desktop, and no more than 60 in FS and noiseless! You won´t regret to buy a better fan to replace the one you
had after all.

This just means that my simming rig is out of commission until I can replace the fan. I dont want to run the risk of damaging the card
anymore than I have already since it did hit over 130C 3 or 4 times.

Guess that means washing and waxing the new car, and detailing the inside

[Sovek]

6800GT requires the NV Silencer 5 cooler, don't know how your planning on making a 3 work (it might, but I don't see it on the site so Im not sure it
wont work, must look on newegg).


EDIT: Never Mind, seems your looking at the "revision 3" part, It will work with your card, let is know how it works out.

And yes, that replaces the fan on the current card.

Welcome to my world. Motherboard fried a few weeks ago, had BestBuy fix it (under warrenty), they didn't back up the HD, so I have to send beg
letters to PMDG, LDS, AS, and ActiveCam.

Fingers crossed it works lol.

Nope not overclocking it unless it happened when I added the memory.

Does adding more memory mean my card works harder because my PC has more space to save rendered textures? Im still stumped,
and I dont mess with bios. ive heard nastiness about it

Did you try removing the new memory to see if that makes a difference?

No...I probably should have, but then again my card has always ran pretty hot (around 115 to 120 degrees C) when Im simming, so
maybe this might help blast it with a dab of frigid air

This is driving me nuts. Its been a week (or damned close to it) since I was able to sim. The fan is supposed to be here on the 9th and
knowing my luck I will get the inevitable sticker of doom - "We've been here but you weren't home"

I can only wash and wax my cars so many times before it hurts everyone's eyes to look at them from the shine

Feels like my airline has had a temporary grounding for bad behavior and man oh man I hope that fan solves my problem

[WBHoenig]

There is an mysterious insane heat wave at the central hub for Air Spruce and Keezaire that has all aircraft grounded

Just one more, day...

[SaVas]

Definitely an insane heat wave. My wings melted

[highlander]

Are you sure that it's Degrees Celcius and not Degrees Farenheit ?
