How to cool xfx 8600GT ?

Hello,

I enjoy a 2 year old PC . its config is :

p4 3 GHz HT presscot

intel d101ggc mobo on radeon x200 chipset

1gb ddr400



About a month pay for i bought :

xfx 8600GT and

a 450watt psu which delivers 19A on 12 volt guiderail .



While playing carbon ( with cabinet closed ) , it bring a peak of 94C and most of the time the temp of the gpu around 85C .

if i keep hold of the case widen , i get a height of 89C . This is high , i know,



i have a stupid 300W smps and i changed it to the one i wrote above . i put a 120mm exhaust fan to my cabby ( in the past that the peak temp be 105C ) .



What can i do to reduce the temp further ? Is my g-card inaccurate ? should i get it replaced or should i buy a current cabinet .



Thanks.

Yeah dude, that's running way too hot for my weakness.



75-80 should be about the actual MAX you want things running at, and the 8600gt chipset is known for mortal quite a cool GPU (65-70).



I'd contact your retailer and ask for a replacement or discount

Leave your case spread out, plain and simple. It may be faulty, however I doubt it. XfX is automatically over clocked so they will be hotter afterwards the regular ones. You could also replace the fan on the graphics card.
try to bring a heatsink for the g-card or you can buy an 80mm fan for the side if suitcase has an hole for it. if that doesnt work you could try a liquid cooling part. they sell them for CPUs and i cogitate they have them for g-cards too.
