Wow, graphic card temps in 60-70C...is that high? Seems pretty hot.

Thats normal graphic cards normally run that run. If your processor ran that hot it would fry. It's normal for video cards.

Thanks nVdia for the info, did not know that. Would seem that most graphics cards would need their own HSF also...

Your Welcome. All cards do have heatsinks on them. Almost every new card has a heatsink and a fan on them.

This a ATI 1800xt notice how big it's heat sink is. All heatsinks vary on cards. Cards that run really hot require a bigger heatsink and cards that don't run as hot don't require as big of one.

So what is a good mother board?

 

[nVdia]

DFI make excellent boards what are you system specs?

 

[bonzo123]

Video card - 9800pro ATI
Processor - AMD Sempron 3100+
350 Watt power supply
Mobo - ASUS K8V - MX

ahhh anything else?

and as a Sempron 3100+ good anyways i wanted to know what Sempron was. I didn't buy the computer it was a gift.

 

[nVdia]

Sempron is just a type of amd processor.

This is an eVga board. It has an Nvidia nForce 3 chipset. All nForce 4 chipsets are pci-E.
