Title: 6600GT temps
Post by: Pete on November 26, 2007, 23:42:43 PM
Worth a laugh -

I was wondering why AOE3 was stuttering every now and then..

It seems to hit ~135c and then throttle back for 30 seconds or so. Dunno how accurate that reading is but its burn-ya-fingers hot.

Still pretty toasty, shouldnt be that hot IMO. First action should be to try cleaning the HSF.

I had a 6600GT, got mental temps. Replaced the HSF with an aftermarket solution, sorted it nicely. Try checking around for a new HSF.

thermal compound might help.
