Hi All
I have a HP Pavilion M9060 IN desktop computer which came with a 300 watt PSU. I had installed XFX 8600 GT 256 DDR3 which worked fine with 300 watt PSU. Now i wanted to upgrade my graphic card and bought XFX 8800 GT 512 DDR3 as i had read in reviews that it is good and has a big fan to cool the graphic card. My 8600GT was running at a temperature of 56C. Now the 8800 GT runs at the same temp without load and goes upto 65C under load.
As i am using a HP desktop computer there is not provision to add an extra fan. Also, i changed the PSU to Zebronics Platinum 600 Watt SLI ready. The PSU cables are sleeved cables. The CPU area is clear but the graphic card area is a bit messy as the HP cabinet is not a full tower. Is there a way to reduce the graphic temp???????
I have a spare cabinet so i can change the cabinet. But the problem is that the warranty of my HP computer in that case will be void.
Eagerly expecting a solution to the problem stated.
Thanks in advance
