Under powered gpu

[PoisonPorkchop]

Ive been having problems with my 6600gt and i have decided its a combination of 2 problems. My gpu isnt getting enough power, and its getting too hot. I have the aerocool jetmaster, and i need to buy new fans because its as loud as a vacuum. also, what is a good power supply to power my pc? specs in sig. Thanks!

What is the temperature on the video card?

You suck at giving needed information, so im guessing this is your PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182010

If it is, you don't need a new one.

Does anyone know the sizes of the fans on my case? or where i can find them? Do you suggest any fans?

If you have a 550W PSU, even by a crappy brand like rosewill, power is not the issue.

Go to control panel, click display, then click the tab 'Settings'. Hit the button 'Advanced'. Then click the Tab in the new window that lists the brand of your Video Card (ex GeForce 6800 GT). In the new thing that appears on the left, select 'Temperature settings'. This will give your GPU temp at the moment, although it isn't stressed, we should be able to tell if heat is an issue by what the value is.

People here know programs to record temps during games, I don't...hopefully they will post...

Can someone please post a program to monitor temps?
