chasm98 Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Hi, I installed Thermaltake Giant III on my Nvidia GEforce FX 5600 128MB few days back. Everything was ok, Temp was at 32DC during game play. But last night all of a sudden an alarm sounded and my VGA temp was at 62DC. I dont understand, it was so shocking. Anyone has any explanation?

crash Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Have you checked to make sure that it hasn't shifted off the gpu? That big heavy thing will move if the case is jarred. Also what kind of thermal paste did you use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 My first guess would be a fan failure. Little fan's can fail sometimes, make sure that it's spinnin away. And if it is, just redo it with some good thermal paste and hope that it was a fluke not a flaw.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasm98 Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 I'm using the thermaltake paste. The fan is intact and running. Between the heat sink and my GPU is 100% contact. Is it possible that my GPU is on the dead track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
