Hey guys,
Ive recently bought another 8800GT to SLi with my current one. My current one used to run at 80C until i put a Zalman VF900 on it, and then it didnt run past 40C on load! However, ever since I put another card in, its been getting extremly hot. So hot that my system shuts itself down as its getting too hot, even with the side of the case off. The copper on the Zalman is getting red hot. It shuts itself down when im playing Crysis on "Very High" settings (which it does very well until it dies ¬.¬) and when on a lower setting it runs fine, just very hot.
Anyone got any ideas how to stop it getting so hot it shuts down? ive considered water cooling but im on a budget at the moment.
Many Thanks!
