| 284142 | 2004-10-24 21:10:00 | >case temp goes down to 27 deg - from 29 deg thats ok. if it went from 29 to 19 i would be worried. |

| 284143 | 2004-10-24 21:59:00 | your radeon 9200 gets to 60°C ???? thats a bit insane for a small/underpowerd card. are your IDE cables blocking the air flow?, i had to change mine around so that there was good air flow. I have a radeon 9600SE with the stock heatsink but im not too sure on how to measure the temps, can i use mbm??. theres no way for me to put a fan on the heatsink because there is like 1 mm between the graphics card and my modem. indeed it was a tight squeeze |

| 284144 | 2004-10-24 23:40:00 | i'm surprised you guys have used all the pci slots, exspecially with the amount of features that are onboard most mobo's. i'm not a fan of modems in the first pci slot (exspecially if your an internet gamer). its always best to but the smallest card next to the vid card. what you can do is install a fan so it blows down inbetween the 2 cards (depending on which way the fins run) |

| 284147 | 2004-10-25 00:02:00 | yeah, i sort of do now, but oh well it looks good and i have the stuff in it what i need, i even put a radeon 9600se in it, i think that is the max it can handle otherwise i would need a new power suppy. | Prescott (11) | ||
| 284148 | 2004-10-25 02:22:00 | Like Presott have said........ 9200 goes upto 60degrees are insane. I dont believe that measure is accurate compare to my 9800xt it only goes upto 60-70 degrees. anyway.... to make it easier to take off your the heatsink, why dont u go play some hardcore games which require heavy video card processing for 15mins to heat up the glue that is stuck to the heatsink. This will make it easier to take it off. |

| 284149 | 2004-10-25 04:08:00 | what program did you measure to record that temp??? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 284150 | 2004-10-25 07:47:00 | im using a fan controller with thermal sensors on it - only good graphics cards come with onboard temp readers - that why you pay so much | ApeNz (4220) | ||
