Hey all, im at my vacation home on the lake again and i noticed my Geforce 2 gts in this system is running at 67 Celcius and 157 Faremehight with the fan at 6337 rpms... It was factory clocked at 200/388 and now at 233/400. The Voltages Are MEM 2.48 V-REF 1.28 Core 2.07 They are set at 2.05 core and 2.5 mem...

Any suggestions?

    There are fans made that exhaust out the slot and can be mounted so they suck air down from the top-- some come this way, some you get to invert fan and duct on the slot cover mount but you can do this usually.

    This will force your air expelled by the GPU fan to exit the case actively rather than bubble under the video card and reheat the card and heatsink.

    Sunon fans in 40 mm come in dual-ball-bearing forms and are nice for sucking heat off a heatsink and fairly quiet as replacement fans. CyberGuys sells them as coldswap rack cooling fan replacement parts.

    If the old fan on your card is at all noisy, you might want to pull it and gently lay down on an anti-stat bag or piece of pink foam with fan up,and remove fan. Then take air can, clean dust out of heat sink where fan was, blow out fan also. Just cleaning should drop temps 3-10C or more-- especially if not done in 6-18 months or so.

    CPU fan same thing, BTW. Outside if not raining.
