So hoping someone else has a better solution for me. I have an 9800gt in a HTPC, unfortunately the fan is too loud so I swaped in the accelero rev 2 on it, knowing the past its made big differences on my other cards.
Anyways, idle is at 50C but load it climbs up over 100C at which point I turn it off....what's going on? That doesn't make sense does it? There isn't a ton of airflow in the case because i'm trying to keep temps down but that seems still seems excessive.
Using mx-2 paste and have re-set the heat sink 3 times...same results. The 100+ temps are showing up when I run F@H. Any other ideas?
[edit]after stressing to 100+ the idle temp is now raised to 80c....what??? my 9800gtx+ runs at 60C @ load. Also, is running on my 42" plasma at 1080i HD. don't know if that matters for idle temps[/edit]
