    video card overheating
    « on: January 19, 2008, 03:54:43 PM »
    I have a GeForce 6800gt 256mb. After installing recent drivers found out the card is running at 80C while my CPU is at 25C. For a NOVICE AT THIS please tell me the best way to fix this problem. Did not open the case but did clean all the exhaust fans in the case. Thanx.

      a 6800gt should not be running that hot. you will have to open up your computer to check that the fan on the card is spinning and that it is clean.
