| 599145 | 2007-10-07 23:30:00 | my NVidia 6600's fan has become increasingly noisy. I vacuumed out all the dust the other day for the first time, but it was still really noisy and now it will only go every now and then. Have I buggered it, or do I just need a new fan on it? I was looking at a new graphics card at some stage anyway. Secondly I am using speedfan and it says that Temp 3 (presumably CPU) is 69 degrees. That seems really hot, the fans working on that one, is it too hot? Or could that be the GPU temp? It seems to be around 69-70 running with or without noisy fan and running games or not. |

| 599148 | 2007-10-09 02:29:00 | GPU's can allow quite a bit of heat so 69 degrees might be that. To find out do a stress test. Get a program like ORTHOS and run a StressCPU test and watch the temps. What ever one jumps up will be the CPU, the others will be chipset/gpu/hdd etc. Alternatively you can get Everest and it will tell you which is which under Computer Sensor. |

| 599149 | 2007-10-12 07:21:00 | i recommend appling new thermalpaste to the gpu core and put some vaseline or oil lubricant to the fan's bearing. Or dual cool it by using stuffing a casefan under the card with 4 cotton buds. This helped me to cool my 8400 gs better |
