I have an Antec 182 case:
1 rear 120mm TriCool Fan (standard)
1 top 120mm TriCool fan (standard)
1 lower chamber 120mm TriCool Fan (standard)
I have the case open and a 3 foot house fan blowing full blast into the case
Cooler air enters from the open side and blows out through the exhaust fan at the top
Yet my graphics card is 75c after Windows XP loads with no other programs running
I run dual monitors... but turning one monitor off doesn't drop the temp.
My ambient temperature is 32c.
Without the house fan my card idles at 90c (this seems extraordinary considering my case has 3x fans in it)
Why is my card idling at 90c without this absurd house fan?
1. The cables are decent/good... they aren't horrible and there's decent room for air flow
2. The 3 fans from my P182 case are all spinning... yet 90c idle. WTF?
I bought the card a year ago so it's not like I can return/warranty it
