Hi all,
I have a Shuttle XPC ST20G5 - its ran well for about 5 months now without any problems. A couple of weeks ago I bought a PowerColor ATI Radeon X800 GTO16 to fit inside it, everything was working fine, been playing WoW for a couple of weeks no problem at all, however yesterday with it being warm the graphics card kept cutting out (PC was still on and I could hear WoW through the speakers so thats what leads me to think its the graphics card)
Rebooted a couple of times and 10mins into WoW same thing happend, so I took the case top off the shuttle and everythings fine for hours
So I put this down to the card being so close to the side of the shuttle case and not getting enough air, the fan on the graphics card is slightly above the air vents on the side of the shuttle. Is there anything I can do? I was thinking of drilling some holes higher up at the same position of the fan into the side of the case.
Anything else I could try?
Cheers
