My graphics card is far too hot
Giggy:
Last year when I said something about my graphics card making a noise
Well now it has stopped but my card is far too hot!
Usually it's on 50 to 50 degrees C but this is far too hot!
Having gone in and checked the card I've found a huge clump of dust in the fan, when I took it out its still hot as it was before.
Any help to cool this thing down is appreciated.
J. M. Pescado:
I think you probably need more advanced cooling than your inadequate stock fan. My computer is sealed in a compressor freezercase and runs at subzero temperatures, wrapped in frozen carbon dioxide.
ZiggyDoodle:
Barring introducing the ice age into your tower, perhaps a second card fan would help?
miros:
I suspect your onboard fan died when it stopped making noise. :o
Maybe you could put a slot fan right under the card? Is there room for a fan on the back of the tower between the card and the power supply?
ElfPuddle:
Perhaps dusting more often would help, as would a room fan (for you).
