hi i have just built my new computer
AMD Athlon XP 2.8
512 DDR 333mhz 2700
ATI Radeon 9200 256mb

And the Radeon card gets so hot that when i touch it it really hurts and can burn and its making my sys temp jump high, is there any solutions?
 
Have you got good air flow and a lot of fans? Also, move the PCi cards down to the bottom holes (furthest away from the AGP slot).
 
so,,, the solution is to get a lot of case fans?
i dun get what that means..
coz i have a similar problem with deankenny

Or blasting the inside of the case with a desktop fan

Lol! That would do the job too I suppose - or water cooling it! Nah; the case fans are just little versions of the fan that your power supply has in it - they are stuck to the side of the case basically wherever you want and if there's a hole there then they cool the case. Theres that or opening the case all the time!
