| 1208647 | 2011-06-16 04:09:00 | ...passive cards do rely on good airflow in the rest of the case... What actual temperatures do you get on CPU, Motherboard and Video card while gaming? I'll second that. Those are the details we need. Post some *exact* temperatures, not fan speeds. Fan speed != relevant. Temperatures are. |

| 1208648 | 2011-06-16 04:36:00 | approx 30C each cpu (2x). That is with a game running in the background, it hasn't actually been played yet. How would I check motherboard and video card temp? btw the video card is a GeForce 7300 GT |

| 1208649 | 2011-06-16 04:41:00 | It's more likely to increase when the game is actually being played and the GPU is being stressed. pressf1.co.nz |

| 1208650 | 2011-06-16 04:51:00 | Wow thanks. Speccy looks like it's going to be a useful little tool. Ohk so the CPU is at 30C (but was hovering around 38-40 when installing), the Motherboard is 28C, and the Graphics is at 55C. This is all running idle. I will try a game for about 30 min and post specs then | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208651 | 2011-06-16 05:04:00 | Does that program support logging? I would log the temperatures at an interval of 1 second, then play the game until crash. Check to see what the temperatures were just before it crashed, to see if they might have been the problem. |

| 1208652 | 2011-06-16 05:06:00 | not sure. how would I go about checking/doing this? | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208653 | 2011-06-16 06:32:00 | Ohk it's been trying to load a game for about an hour now, cpa @ 30C, Motherboard at 27C, & graphics at 60C | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1208654 | 2011-06-16 08:33:00 | They're pretty good temperatures then. I doubt overheating is causing the freezing problem, most likely something else. Check the board\graphics card and PSU (if you're game) for bad capacitors and then run Memtest86+ if they all look OK. |

| 1208655 | 2011-06-16 11:16:00 | I'm with Agent_24, 60 is pretty acceptable. You could always try prime95 and see if that stresses the CPU? It's a long shot there, but if memtest86+ fails then I'd go with Power Supply personally? |

| 1208656 | 2011-06-16 11:34:00 | Yeah my old 8600GT ran about 75-80 degrees while gaming so 60 degrees sounds good to me. Power supply could be checked two ways... properly with load tester and 'scope or by substitution with a known good unit. A visual inspection may also be useful, if it's full of leaky capacitors then it's probably dumping a ton of ripple into the motherboard\GPU VRMs, not to mention everything else. |
