So i have the setup you can see below my post...and i have had heat issues to begin with. My CPU idling at 40C which im told is high...my 8800GT used to idle at 55C and under load (crysis, COD4) it would hit 60-70. Well now its hotter outside and its idling at 60-65C and underload today of Sims 3, it was 90C. Im wondering how close i am to dangerous heat for my Vid card?
And the main question is, what can i do to cool it down? (As in what cooling options, such as a VGA cooler such as a Accelero S1 Rev 2. http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_&mID=105 )
Is that what i want? Please be specific on the products you might recommend.
BTW, i am using my fan ports on my Case, i have the front port sucking air in the case, the side port blowing air in (right onto the cpu) and the back blowing air out. (ThermaFlow case fans)
Also YES i am using Riva tuner so above 60C the vid card fan is at 100%.
