Heya
been ages since i have been here ^^ but its been ages sinc ei have had a problem with my pc my gfx card is now about 3 years old ... i think maybe less but i cant remember. and its running at 100 degrees on windows and hits about 115 degrees after about 1 hour of world of warcraft it does crash eventually but it doesnt artifact at all speed fan ntune and riva all give the same temperature so i assume its correct i was just planning to reseat the heatsink but i dont have any thermal paste atm so i was just wondering if thermal paste goes off after a while or not im trying to think of anything else that might help its still on the original stock cooler its not oced at all i even dropped the core down to 128 mhz but that only dropped the temp by 5 degrees well thats all i can think of anyway thanks Meow -------------------- P.S.almost all of my posts are made when im very drunk :P so im sorry if they make no sence or have very bad grammar xD

Get yaself down tesco/asda and look in the entertainment bit, most stores carry compressed air on the (limited) computer bit. Take ya rig outside after hoovering it, and let loose the entire can. Trying not to invert it, as the air turns into liquid then.
The hoover will only get the thick stuff off, not the fine layers. Then re-hoover, job done. -------------------- ~ Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 ~ Shuttle SP35P2 ~ 8Gb Kingston Ultra Low Profile ~ ATI HD5770 ~ |

also just incase anyone else has never used this stuff before dont decided to use the last of the can by spraying on your desk and then lighting it
it burns alot more violently than deoderant does and you will probably lose your eyebrows xD and some of your hair on your head may melt too  learning is fun! -------------------- P.S.almost all of my posts are made when im very drunk :P so im sorry if they make no sence or have very bad grammar xD
