Jayel Posted April 21, 2006 I just replaced the heatsink on my videocard and it runs below 65°C instead of the usual 90°C~100°C under maximum load. No more mr. crashies or mrs. glitches. If you have an Nvidia 6600GT (AGP) and experience strange problems, you may wanna do the same. Apparently a lot of 6600GTs don't have proper cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted April 21, 2006 Do you know how I keep my machine nice and cool in the extreme moments of high computation? I call it mr. blow. I take off the sides of my machine and park the fan on one end. It is a cheap ass sollution and it works amazingly well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrChlorophyll Posted April 22, 2006 My brother does that with his and even then it still crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayel Posted April 22, 2006 Oh yeah, I tried everything, but nothing else really helped. The heatsink was cold to the touch, even when rivatuner was reporting +90°C. It's definite sign that the heatsink was not making proper contact with the GPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
