Just wondering if anyone could lend some advice please?
Lately i have been experiencing problems with system intensive games such as farcry and FEAR demo. After about 5 mins into the game, green and purple polygons start to flash everywhere (even when i turn all settings to low).
I checked my GPU temp while playing and found that it was 58 degrees. I am assuming this temperature is too high and is causing the problems. If i take off the side of the case and blow a large fan onto the card it seems to get better, but a don't want to have this big-ass fan sitting there all the time just to get games running ok.
Do you think there could be something wrong with the card because i think the airflow is pretty good and all fans seem to be working.
I have a:
Thermaltake soprano case with fans on the front, side and back.
Thermaltake 430w PSU
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
1 Gig RAM
Winfast Geforce 6600gt (PCI EX)
ASUS SLI Deluxe MOBO
120gig Barracuda HD SATA
