If you place the fan off ceneter you'd probably get better cooling performance.

As it is, it looks like the motor is just above the GPU area and that spot isn't getting as much airflow.

actually dude, I did put it off center. the RAdeon 9600XT has a tiny fan(40mm), so you can't see it as good in the picture, but the edge of the 80 is in the center of the GFX card fan. Here look at the pic:

Ahh cool dude it wasn't clear in the picture, I'm glad you knew that already.

ps. is 60 degrees celcius normal for full load with a 70mhz. overclock on the vc.

my radeon 9600XT on my amd 1000+ it's 40c idle.. and 42c under load. with the zalman sliver and copper version? thats how good they are

good job!

dudes, don't you just love the 9600XT. Its a very good overclocker, good framerates in games, solid cooling on it, and its inexpensive. I would say, that behind the 6600GT's, the 9600XT is the best bang for the buck.

it's ok but i need to save up and get a new one like nvidia 6800 and unlock 4 more pipelines from 12 to 16

or even the 6600 and unlock more pipelines. but i'm not going to get the ati 9800Pro.. becuase it's old

Maybe complex from a logical design perspective, but some of the new GPUs have a much higher transistor count than a CPU. Which will yield more heat.

I don't know why CPUs are more sensitive to heat than GPUs though.

It's only logical from what you just said

The more transistors something has the less heat per transistor, hence higher tolerance.

I was loading ~65 C on stock settings and stock cooling with my GT. So to be OC'd while loading at 60 C is good.

i was idling at 65 C lol.. loading at 85 C or so

now i load low 50's and idle mid 40's with watercooling

graphics cards can take a pile of heat
