Hi lately iv'e been havin some problems with my 8600gt xfx.
The card is crashing due to over heating. The cpu is fine because its 30 degress idle and 45 load or something.
the graphics is 55+ idle, and 75-82 load on css.
Heres a screenshot of the temps on idle.
I checked the GPU heatsink and it has basicly no thermal paste on it theres only a little bit on the heatsink.
I orderd artic silver 5 and should get it tomorow, just wondering if it will stop the card crashing under load.
thanks.
Pc specs:
AMD Pheneom tri core 8450
3 gigs ddr2
nvidia xfx 8600gt 512mb ddr2
650 watt power supply
320 gigs hardrive.
