9800pro overheating? (screenshot included)
I'm guessing it's an overheating problem because I've heard that 9800's tend to get pretty hot. Also when I touch the HSF on the card I can't hold my finger on it or it would probably literally burn it. Also should I be more concerned about the GPU or the RAM on the card getting too hot? sometimes I can play through out the game just fine and other times my screen gets trashed before I can finish the game. But once I reboot my system the screen is back to normal (I'm assuming the reboot is sufficient time for it to cool off enough to function normally again). Anyways take a look at the screenshot and let me know what you think. Oh and I don't think I have any way to see what the GPU temperatures are on the card, but if you know something that would give me the GPU temps let me know. I can play BF2 without any problems at all, the only game it does this on is AOEIII. |

I still don't see any temperatures for my video card, it may just not have a sensor on the GPU I suppose.
I did take my card out and examine it and found that it had dust piled all around the fan effectively blocking the air flow for the heat sink. I cleaned it out and ran it the rest of the night without any problems, it still gets warm but I dont' have to pull my hand away immediately to prevent getting burned so that's certainly a good sign. |

Clean the dust out of it. In the summer, I got some artifacting issues on BF2, where the card was painting big patches of green and blue on everything, and not drawing textures properly. I just cleaned out the dust, the temp dropped about 10 degrees, and all was well
 . Could have been because it was a very warm day though.
