GTX 260 = HOT!!!

[Neg]

My 260 is getting hot in games...like 80'C hot! It made Warhammer Online crash.

I cant live with the fan on anything above 50% its WAY to loud. Are there any aftermarket coolers available yet?

What case cooling do you have?

I've seen my 260 hit 80c once and that was after 15 mins of furmark, overclocked with fan @ 40%

 

[johnim]

knock your fan upto 60% and will go no higher than 60

 

[Neg]

Its sat on 60% now, im playing Eve, and its sat at 75'C

 

[johnim]
