| 274897 | 2004-09-24 00:20:00 | I have a GeForce 4 Ti4200 graphics card . After playing BF1942 for a while, I was interested in what my video card's temperature could be - only problem is i have no sensor for it (MBM5 doesn't seem to, anyway) So I just decided on putting my finger on the back of the card (not the fan side) . Now my CPU heatsink is pretty cool, but the video card was too hot to touch for more than 5 seconds or so, I know this would be bad for the CPU, but what about video cards? I poked around some more on the card and found that most components on it ram, capacitors, everything nearly were giving out a lot of heat . What is the answer to this? |

| 274898 | 2004-09-24 00:36:00 | Do you have any fans blowing onto the videocard? I had to put an extra fan in next to my GF4 to stop it getting too hot... but if you're not experiencing any problems like artefacting in the game, and smoke is not coming out of your case then it should be OK. | bRaZZiN (2228) | ||
| 274899 | 2004-09-24 00:41:00 | I have a fan on the side of the case, but that blows air mainly at the CPU. The backplane for the PCI slot under the video card is punched out, but there are no fans specifically aimed at the card. (It has its own fan) Nothing wrong with the game in any way that i can see, no artefacts or anything. |

| 274900 | 2004-09-24 00:50:00 | A case fan should be sucking air out of the case,they are to aid circulation/air flow not to blow on specific components. | metla (154) | ||
| 274901 | 2004-09-24 00:56:00 | Oh, yea i've got one of those too - just under the PSU | agent_24 (4330) | ||
| 274902 | 2004-09-24 01:52:00 | your card could be a bit faulty. when i had my Gf4Ti4200 it ran at around 33-36.C i miss my puta :( |

I wouldnt worry about the temps to much my Leadtek Ti4200 was always hot to touch and i never had problems with it. You could always reapply the thermal paste to make sure the core is making good contact with the cooler. |
