SB X-Fi overheating!?!?!

[buhweet]

Thats right, I thought it was because my comp kept freezing while playing BF2(The best FPS ever!!!
well, I could still hear some sound but it was messed up, out of place. I turned the settings down and it still froze. It's probably not the SB tho, I have a fan right on the card. ohhh, and btw, I have my GPU at its optimal settings (686/746). maybe its the CPU (at the moment its at about 33C)
Thanks homies!

isnt that a bit iffy?... i have never had an x-fi, but having a fan pointed at it should really take care of any exess heat.
what temps are your graphics card at?

Re: SB X-Fi overheating!?!?!

well I underclocked the CPU and that solved it, I also plugged the fan in the bottom into the PSU, I guess it was the CPU or GPU putting out to much heat. I set the GPU to stock speeds, I will OC when the Arctic cooler comes, ( I also got 6 fans) I think I might also get some RAMsinks. I did a stress test on the CPU GPU and RAM together and it crashed, any 1 component didnt cause it to overheat because they were fine under the stress tests by themselves. My GPU is at 40C
