micksax Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Hi, I've just added another HIS 4870 graphics card to my system and now have two of these cards running in crossfire mode on my ASUS P5Q Pro m/b.I have overclocked my E8600 CPU to 4.5 Ghz and everything was running reasonably cool up until I installed the second card.With both cards the m/b temp is up to 49 degrees which is 8-9 degrees hotter than with a single card.Do you think that dropping the overclock down would lower the m/b temp and if so,by how much,or does anyone have any other suggestions on how to lower the m/b temp while retaining most of the performance.

r3d c0m3t Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 It'd be helpful if you listed all of your system's specifications, especially the case in use, I'm poised to think a fan would solve your problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case I'm using is the Antec 900.I have a 200mm fan which sits on the inside at the top of the case plus I also have 5 x 120mm internal fans and a Zalman CNPS9700 NT CPU fan/cooler.Thanks.

Odio Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 How much voltage are you running through the NB Core? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if im wrong, but doesn't enabling crossfire/sli put a heaver load on the south bridge? if so, I would expect an increase in temp's.
