One of my pals having problem with his graphics. His running MSI 9800gx2 card. But when he plays it reaching 100c. It looks like that only 1 of the fans are running. So the question is: Anybody had the same problem or have a solution to this? His not going water so if his gonna do anything it must be on air...

Hope somebody can help once AGAIN

Best regards Maximous

None that I know of.

btw, what do you mean by "only one of the fans are running"?

The GX2 only has 1 fan o.o

Hmmm so what can be the problem then?
Ill check with my pal. Uno momento

 

[Maximous]

He says its in nvidia controlpanel: Aux 1 281 rpm AUX 2 6144 rpm. Not sure what the speed are. But could taking the whole card apart and clean it help or is thsi something wrong with the card? Im having some low end wc laying around that I could fix, but then I rather sell him my msi gtx 295 card lying aroünd.

Any thoughts?

9800gx2 is a really hot card no doubt about it.

Best way to lower temps on air is to clean the fan, remove the shroud, and add new thermal paste + thermal pads.

Yeah ok thnx pal. Thats just about what I was telling my pal to. Just unmount everything and re-assembly again. Ive heard that people use cheramic paste on gpu. Is this corrct cause I thought taht was only used when under DI or N2. Ive used ocz freece and I love it so far.

Well thanx for the replyes
