i run about 71C playing bf2 for a while

[*MAFIA* Wasserfaller]

HOLY FUCK I DID IT! And i have to admit, this forum skin/theme ROCKS MY BALLS! I switched the graphics card, the only reason i was scared out of my nuts was that on the slot that i have to punch out, it was like 1cm away from this nob thing on my motherboard, i actually "bumped" it when i was removing the slot to make room for my graphics card, so now it's bent to the side, but it works fine! I'm gonna go give this thing a test run and see what temp i run after playing PR for 2 hours straight!

Thanks so much for the tips and tricks and advice troopers, without it i would have pussied out and waited for my azn friend to do it for me. WOOT!

One more question, now that i have the graphics card one slot up, the power cables to my HD are touching to the top of the graphics card (not the heat sink side, the other side), is that okay? It's not gonna melt the wires or anything right? I mean, the fan and heat sink are facing the bottom, and the HD cables are touching the top part...

should be fine, i have an audio cable running on top of mine, as long as it not stuck on the chips they'll be fine

then you dont know much of new cards do you? they are meant to run hotter, 220f is yellow while 250f will fry it.

Rofl, you kidding me bone? I don't know much about computers all together, let alone video cards. Well, i hope it's at least safe now, it still feels hot but i'll take your guys word for it. Thanks again, much appreciated.

If your temperatures are lower now then its time to do some overclocking! W00t

[*MAFIA* Wasserfaller]

they aren't much lower, it stays around 69-70 C now, i'm not gonna overclock it...it runs all my games perfectly fine with all settings on high and 8X AA and 16X AF

[*MAFIA* Capsloc]

yeah don't o/c it, it just gives you issues later on after some time
