I think my graphics card is overheating :(
I have a 3850x2 in a thermaltake xaserIII case and it's just getting to damn warm (pc has shut down on it's own)
Are there any cheap aftermarket solutions to the prob (i know the thermaltake fans that came with case are a bit low on the output side as they are the silent type?)
So would putting some high output 80mm fans on the case be the first step?
With the side of the case open and a desktop fan pumping lovely cold goodness into the case everything is fine slap the side panel back on and it turns into an oven :(
Just would like a few ideas fellas....
 
No not increasing number just changing....I have two 80's on the side panel...two on rear of case and two on front (but these are blacked by my hdd's) with them being the silent type of fans they dont seem to push much air....
I never knew you could get an aftermarket cooling solution for the 3850x2?
 
No I can assure you I have a 3850x2 :) this card came out before the 3870x2.
Well if push comes to shove I can always cook eggs and bacon on it :D
 
Dont think it's gunna matter really mate what card I get think it might be better to get another case or mod the case I have (Maybe a couple of 120mm on the side will do it)
I have a lot of stuff inside all pumping out heat (4 hard drives dont help matters)
Thanks for the ideas anyway chaps!
