Everything is working... but need to somehow adjust the fan for max cooling. Also am ordering some 'Arctic Silver" thermal grease which should work a little better than the stuff that came with it.
I was just wondering the other day: what if you overclocked a vintage 8086 PC to a couple GHz or so. Would it instantly fry, or would it just have no idea what you're talking about?
....it would suddenly, and yes, instantly, fry. Turn into a pile of hot dust even.
Since I am the proud owner of a brand spanking new PC, I have started on my endless quest to modify/upgrade it. I noticed my video card is running WAY too hot -about 80c idol and 110c on full load! I ordered (from newegg.com of course) a new VGA cooling heatsink/fan combo and will let everyone know how it goes once installed.
It 'should' let me overclock quite a bit as well.
Assuming this is a desktop, what card do you have? that is WAAAAAAAAY hot.

I don't have room for a card fan.

Just got it in. Installed it. Already my idol temps have decreased by about 7 degrees C. It should lower another 1-3 degrees as the thermal paste sets. (Although I am thinking that I may have used too much of the stuff.....)
huh? thermal paste? Video card? Im lost

Edit: just noticed older post.. never mind
I've actually upgraded the card (again) since that post. I now have a Sapphire ATI 5850 which is probably overkill for my 1680 by 1050 monitor. I did add an additional case fan to blow through the video card since my sound card is nearly touching from beneath and block most of the air flow.
