I just bought a brand new nVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT card, I have an 80mm side case fan blowing in, a 120mm back case fan blowing out, a PCI fan blowing down, a massive heatsink/fan for my CPU (which works awesome), my video card has a built in heatsink/fan and my psu has a fan, but my video card still idles at like 120 degrees and when I play video games it jumps up to 140-150 and crashes my computer. I looked at my card's info in Everest and a saw this "Real Clock 351 MHz (DDR) (original: 350 MHz)". Does this mean my "brand new" card is overclocked?? at any rate how do I cool my card down?
