I added a fan to one of my nvidia graphics cards (a 5200 which didn't come with one) and it ran much cooler and more stable too. The fan came from a dead PSU but they are easy enough to buy new. Can make things noisy though...
Me too, finally. I was buying fanless cards because I really like low noise computer, but searching for reasons why it is hotter now then before, I found few articles taliking about overclocking, and it seems that todays chips and card designs are open for that, so I finally gave up and an hour ago attached fan. While it is easy to buy some, I have few fans from old CPU coolers that are small enough to fit on a graphic card heatsink without fittings. In any case next motherboard will have good cooling for chipset. I'm not rich enough to buy cheap stuff. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
