SLI issue

well the top card is also hotter though because heat rises. so heat rises from the bottom card to heat up the top card. so i guess it has to happen unless u fip it on the side and the heat flows up out of the case instead of on the other card.

yea i was thinking of trying that. any idea of when a P4 prescott shuts down from overheating? and whats involved in putting thermal paste on the gpu?

 

[GreySteelFox]

how do yall find out what the temp is? is it in the nVidia 3D performance thing?

 

[mighty_chick]

desktop properties/settings/advanced/6600gt and then temp settings

Nothing to it...Clean off the old stuff (Not with water ) And just stick a new blob on. Isnt hard

ok ur cards might be getting that hot because u dont have good enough case fans what do u have on there now? do u have at least one intake fan and one outtake fan?

 

[mighty_chick]

yes if you count my two fans in my psu :d...no case fans whatso ever except an exhaust fan in the side of my case that barely pushes anything, or rather i cant really feel it pushing

So...Err, what is an 'artifact'?

(Sorry to cut in the convo)

 

[mighty_chick]

its like if your staring at a wall and you start seeing a flashing block or looking at something that should't be flashing and its flashing like a porno star

i know i know double posting but i dont care, if i put a fan in the back of my case should it be blowing in or out? if it goes in it'll blow right over my cpu and video cards if it blows out it would be taking heat from video cards but psu takes heat from cpu so i dunno which one to do
