Fan controller question

[Beany]

I hope I've posted this in the right part of the forum.

Ok I noticed recently that my graphics card temps have been a little high ( 75c ) and I've had the odd lock up and graphics artifacts stuff going on. So I sqeezed ( literally ) an extra fan in to cool everything off at the expense of noise. Now it would be nice to be able to power up and down this fan, and tbh all the fans in the case so my question is are the fan controllers OCUK have easy to install ???

I'm competent ( ish ) at the inside of a case type stuff and I'm guessing you just plug all the fans into the back of the panel and it's all gravy after that.

Any help appreciated and if I posted in the wrong area...... be gentle

Wow thx for the help guys

I have 2 7800gtx cards in sli. They are xfx ones which are clocked at 490 / 1300.

Yes thats at full load on "busy" maps they have hit 78 and average at 70c +

78C is absolutley fine at load.

I thought it might be its just that i get occasional lock ups and often graphical artifacts showing up. Since I put the extra fan in temps have dropped, I've overclocked the card and everythings been ok.

Summer will soon be here and I'm worried that if I had carried on I would have had a problem.

I still think I will get a fan controller, just wondered If you guys have any recomendations.
