Hiya, my PC is few years old now, and recently it has been heating up quite a bit. I've replaced the CPU and case fans and it has helped quite a lot, But now my Graphics card is also getting hot.
i have
Nvidia GeForce GTX 260
AMD Phenom 8650 x3
asus m4a78 pro
I checked SpeedFanV.3 to check the temps of everything and my vidcard is apparently 50C with just this browser running. Apparently that is critical according to the program. I took the side of the case of, to check if the Graphics card fan is working; it is. I then put a deskfan to blow air at the CPU, this decreases the temp to 40-ish.
Problem is, when i play games. I play Call of Duty, After about an hour the VidCard temp will reach about 70-80C even with the deskfan blowing at it. The vpu chipboard is also rly hot to touch. I realise it should raise a little when playing games, but is this TOO high?
Any solutions if it is? I don't really want to upgrade hardware just yet. so any cheap fixes?
