Leadtek 8600GT Overheating

[DND]

Hi all

I just got a new WinFast PX8600 GT TDH 8600gt (Heatpipe Version)
and I'm having problem with it overheating when I am playing BF2

has anyone got one of theses cards and had this problem ?
any ideas on what I should do ?

No I don't have one,but if passive cooling is presenting an issue,you might try either puting more fans in your case or go for a version with a fan and heatsink combo.I've never muched believed in passive cooling for computer hardware.They create too moch heat and there is absolutely no overclocking them.Goodluck.
