GeForce 8600 GTS heat problem

[Wrathek]

computers run off of the room temperature unless you're liquid cooling.

 

In the mornings/overnight my house is at 63 degrees , but the point is it makes my ambient temp go to ~25 C and the rest of the day when the temp is turned to 69 or so its ~30.

if anything overheats your computer will automatical shut down,

 

This isn't always true. My 8800GT is supposed to shutoff at 95C and I caught it hitting 115C one day, which surprised the hell out of me. Put dual turbines going across my PCI slots and now its all good. I'm still so surprised that my computer didn't warn me at all.

try reversing the direction of your two side mounted fans. i've seen that drop temps 5-10 degrees before.. depends on the shape of the case
