barginboyrob

sorry i've followed all the instructions, i'm just wondering how to paste the hardware monitoring pictures (graphs on)?

thanks for all you help so far!!

should i send it to you? it's a 43.3kb file

It should create a .hml file (to the location you selected in above step)

Open the .hml file, it may ask you wat program to open with....just use IE.

Then copy and paste the data from there

thanks i'll pm you

T4i

Your 6600GT is running hot. Its not the worst I've ever seen but it's idling at 65degs.....

I have a 6600GT and its idling today at 50degs.

Can you try take the card out and reseat in the AGP slot?

If it's running hot, it may be worth giving it a clean too. Dust can clog up the fan and conduct the heat.

For now

That means if you play a game you must be easily reaching 85-95degs - The NV43 chip is known to produce artifacts/problems when working near 85degrees.

barginboyrob - Have you tried underclocking your card?
