Hi Guys

A friend of mine, just brought a GTS 250 GFX card, and is running 2 monitors... his idle temp is 61 degrees and when playing a game goes over 100 degrees (bloody hot)

Is the 2 monitor causing this?????

Any other ideas

Cheers

It might be because the cooler is not seated properly, or the case has a very bad air flow, choking the card from cool air. Dual monitors never lead to a temp rise ;P
