What do i do!? :(, I checked the temp and it seems to be reaching around 66 C. I guess thats bad, ive never seen it that high, the game locks up when it reaches these temps, then i get artifacts and it goes back to normal for about a minute or 2. I'm upgrading in Nov or Dec, so im not sure about buying another fan... unless i haf too :(
Hey Man, Don't even think of not buying a better fan next time youre upgrading
Overheating may also be becoz of a small cabinet (CPU case) so if you have a small cabinet you'd better buy a better CoolerMaster Cabinet.
And you would also like to clean up any fans clogged with excessive dust because that reduces fan speed which in your case could be serious( Not to panic Dude :P )
So come November and your PC would be as cool as ice cream( Thats just an exaggeration :lol: )

Underclock your Graphics card, that will lower the temps. As long as you computer runs it at a good frame rate, it won't do anything.
If you want to fix the problem permanently, you can buy a new VGA cooler.
Well I clean my computer from dust, and I leave the case open all the time so it gets some air and i can see if it needs cleaning :D! lol, the card is a 6800 256mb and no its not overclocked. I got the temperature from the Nvidia control panel. Seems to lower when my game returns to normal, then decides to freeze when the temp goes up.. :(, I'm thinking of grabbing a little fan and blow air into it xD!
