  |  Re: Video Card Overheating? I agree with coweater58, you'll probably need a can of compressed air and a rag. You might want to replace the thermal interface material (gunk between the heatsink and the GPU) with some Arctic Silver after cleaning the GPU and heatsink with some rubbing alcohol. |

| Re: Video Card Overheating? it could posibly be your mobo, asin if you have clocked your cpu but have not kept the pci-e at 100mhz, ect. or it could just be that your system is lacking in power, try running your machine @ stock speeds and see if it persists

  | Re: Video Card Overheating? It might also be the lack of airflow getting to it. Try cleaning out your case and making sure you've got air flowing through. Also what components do you have in your system? It could be that you're power supply can't handle the load comfortably.

| Re: Video Card Overheating? Could you specify the card brand and model and what version of video drivers you are using? What happens when you try playing with lower resolution settings? That does not look like overheating (at least not on a nVidia card).
