1208667 2011-06-21 23:42:00 thanks @Chilling_Silence. They do have onboard, but the onboard doesn't work. Would this just be because the graphics card is in there?

Yes most boards disable onboard graphics when a separate card is installed.

Well at the temperatures you describe for the GPU I can't say I would point the finger at it, because my 8600GT as I said ran 75-80 degrees while gaming and never crashed.

I managed to get it up to 99 degrees and probably more as the temperature meter only went to 2 digits on ATiTool (similar to furmark) and it never crashed then either.

But then your 60 degrees is while idling.


Install SpeedFan and log the temperatures while gaming. Only then will you know what's really going on.

1208668 2011-06-21 23:46:00 Did you ever try furmark? I suggested it a while back. It will stress the Graphics card and graph the temperature at the same time. If it survives that it's not overheating. No game pushes a card as hard as furmark does.

My cards now top out at 80~85 degrees under furmark, which is acceptable (previously hitting 99 degrees until I changed mb - thermal limiting prevents them going higher).

Also have you tried updating or reinstalling video drivers? sometimes certain driver releases cause problems with some games.

1208669 2011-06-21 23:56:00 @Agent_24 that temp was while running.

@dugimodo no didn't see that? Where can I download it?
