I just purchased a new EVGA 7900 and since this is my first experience with nVidia cards, I was wondering what the best application is for monitoring the card temperature in game. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try SpeedFan, thank you. I've tried MBM before (in fact I use it on my other computer) but unfortunately it isn't compatable with my motherboard. :(

I need a good free program to monitor my North Bridge and CPU temperatures on my MSI 925X Neo Platinum. For some reason or another the program (CoreCenter) that came with the board doesn't work at all. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Well, if you can deal with the noise, get the thermaltake CL-P0006 HS (viewable here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106045) and attach an 80mm Vantec Tornado to it (viewable here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=11-999-612&depa=1). If you want to control...

Well, I must say, that is pretty horrible. I've seen some bad stuff, like piles of dust in peoples' CPU heatsinks and hair carpeting their case, but that just takes the cake. :eek: Luckily, I don't have these problems, mainly cause I constantly clean my case. But yeah, the best thing to do is...

I've been waiting for the Google toolbar for FireFox, 'bout time. :D

EDIT: Well, I'm retarded. I did a search on my computer and found AUTOEXEC.NT in C:\WINDOWS\repair. And after a little research, I found that C:\WINDOWS\repair is a directory where backed up files are kept in case the origionals get trashed. All I had to do was copy AUTOEXEC.NT from there to...

I am trying to make a bootable floppy with an MS-DOS batch file installer. Every time I open the batch file, Windows says: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to...

I'm sure you could trust them on the specifications. If you want to see a large selection of fans, go to: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Category.asp?Category=11

The Vantec Nexus fan controller has worked wonders for me, as said above, "cheap and effective." http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=13-999-502&depa=1 (Black) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813999503 (Silver)

Okay, thanks guys. :D

I need to know if using an air compressor is a good idea to get the dust off my heatsink and motherboard. I don't think it will be a problem, but I just wanted to be sure before I go and do it.

Arctic Cooling is a good cooling company. They make the best graphics card coolers I know of. Its a good cooler for that card, but if you don't want to void warranty, then don't get it. I've know some people who wrecked 400-500 dollar cards trying to install card coolers. I myself have installed...

A good fan control program is SpeedFan. And as others said, you should get a converter and run the fan off the power supply. I've had my own destructive problems with connecting high voltage fans to my mobo connectors.

First thing I would do is check the BIOS, make sure all the settings in there aren't wrong. If that don't help, then I don't know what else you could do. Hope you get your comp going smoothe again, though. :)

I have a Neo Plat. as well, and when I first installed it, CoreCenter was telling me 66C at load. I touched my heatsink when it was at load and it was warm, but not hot. I did a laser test and it was about 20C off from the CoreCenter temp. Now its telling me that its running between 30-35C idle...

Wow, thats a lot of dust...

LOL!!! I have my window open and my CPU is hitting 29-32C! Compared to 56-66C...

That would work....

I've done that before. it works really well if you live in Indiana druing January! I did it under 8F conditions and my old comp was running about 25C!!!!! I stoped during the night though cause I figured too cold of air could mess up my system (frost).

BTW, does the LGA775 stock cooling have a pad on it?

Damned UPS... I like FedEx better. BTW, I know someone using a F7 and says its working pretty well. Maybe I should get one to replace my stock HS. Hmmmm...

I have a question. I have a P4 3.0EGHz CPU and was thinking on gettin a thermaltake watercooler. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-106-049&depa=9 . My comp runs around 60-66C, so will this work??? :confused:

Doing that don't work... I've done it. I'm probably gunna need water cooling. I idle at 66C and get to 73C full load...

My system has Intel Pentium 4 Prescott LGA775 3.0EGHz CPU and an MSI Neo Platinum i925X Chipset Motherboard. I just built the system and ran into heat problems. Need some suggestions on a good water cooling system. There is a good Thermaltake one I saw, but I don't know how good their water...

I'm gunna try what you said to do...

I don't really want a water cooling system. I've know some people who've had leaks, but that could have been anything from bad product, to bad installation. So I'm not too sure what kind of water cooling system to get. I've installed them before, but I'm gunna need some suggestions....

I was thinking about water cooling, but its a little expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done with my case fans, CPU fan, ect.? :confused:

I wish my computer was like that, lol. Truely amazing! :eek: I've never herd of that type of cooling. I'm gunna have to experiment with it. :D

I just recently built a new computer and it has heat issues. It has Intel Pentium 4 Prescott LGA775 3.0EGHz CPU and an MSI Neo Platinum i925X Chipset Motherboard. I've re-done the thermal compound but the heatsink still catches little heat and my CPU remains at a staggering 73C. I need desprate...
