yeaah... i'l second that... it really helps to have a fan blow into your card... that disperses the heat... most cabinets have a small grill thing next to the pcie as a provision for a fan, or just as a vent... you could put an intake fan there... one that sucks air from the outside and blows it in.... but you gotta put in another fan towards to top that acts as an exhaust...

Intake: this should blow air into your cabinet, ideally next to your card...

Exhaust: sucks air outta the cabinet... ideally towards the top, cause heat rises..

It won't, it requires a higher power supply !

I checked 8500 GT, it needs minimum of 350 W.

i dont think u shud apply more heatsink paste, i think ur cabby just has a really bad airflow, try opening the side of the cabinet and place a fan beside it, it shud cool down considerably

No never do that,if thermal paste is applied more than what the amount it should
have been applied then it will start acting as an insulator between the core and the heatsink resulting in more heat.

i have a 2 + half month old xfx 8600GT . me too getting same temps . many others are also getting same temps . i think it can be decided as safe temps ..
for me idle - 62C . load 80-85 max 87C ..so i think this is the normal . but the surprising fact is that many are getting much lower temps even when heavily OCed . neway , if temps decrease after replacement (if u do this ) , tell me . i will also ask for replacement.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

This is my spec
AMD AM2 3000+
512*2 DDR2
AGP 6200 256 MB.


now the question is what is the next card i can buy? my budget is arround Rs 5000, i can wait for some time no hurry. But i can not buy a new motherboard so PCI-E is out of question.

i have heard 7300GT is nice.
what is the optimal card for my requirements.
i play lots of games, and i want to view HD too.
