| 421660 | 2006-01-16 19:50:00 | Hey guys, got the new rig yesterday, fully assembled it and all systems are go :D, well not quite :( 1. How do I get it to connect to the internet? I have ADSL 2M over Ethernet it detects the connection but does nothing about it, no pages load. :confused: 2. The GPU it is running at a steady 50C idle and 80C on max settings for NFSMW, is this ok? The GPU is an nVidia 7800GTX |

| 421662 | 2006-01-16 20:47:00 | I think graphics cards run quite hot, though that seems high. I have a 6800gs to compare it to which gets to 55 under load. I can only assume that the 7800gtx runs even higher since it is a more powerful card. Does anyone else here have a 7800gtx? That is one mean system. Do you mind saying how much it cost? |

| 421663 | 2006-01-16 20:47:00 | The gfx card should live through that (as long as you dont play the game for extreme lengths of time) i think that nVidia have heat protection in place (your pc will probably either crash or shut down) |

| 421664 | 2006-01-16 20:51:00 | Its normal for the GPU - they run hotter than the CPU does. | pctek (84) | ||
| 421665 | 2006-01-16 20:54:00 | That is one mean system. Do you mind saying how much it cost? Yes it is VERY powerful :D, A little over the 3G mark :eek: Under the settings where I found the temp it says there is a threshold at 115C, so I am guessing it shuold be ok, although I think I will add another 2 case fans to get more cool air in :) |

| 421668 | 2006-01-16 21:18:00 | If you're connecting to the Internet, please do yourself a favor and make sure your patches are up to date and put in place some kind of firewall. I've read articles that a unprotected windows PC can be infected in as little as 20 seconds. You may want to invest in a hardware based ADSL modem / firewall, around $125. Personally, I think anything over 80C is too hot. You may want to invest in Zalman's VGA cooler, though it'll obstruct one slot. |
