Question posted by cookierulz on February 22nd, 2012
Overheating Graphics Card?
Ok well, the casing for the SX2801 is very weird, as the graphics card is right at the top back of the case.
I have an Nvidia GEForce GT320, which has it's own fan, though due to the weird casing, no air flow is reaching it.My GPU idles at a temperature of 50 - 70 Celcius, and loads up to 105+ - Which is enough to shut down the PC.Do you have any ideas on how I could cool down the graphics card more? Without having to purchase anything new, that is.
