I got a HP prebuilt @ Futureshop like 2 years ago, added in a (Visiontek)HD2600XT 512MB and been running games with it flawlessly for a while.
300W PSU (requirement for the vid card was 300 so I'm good, and for a whole year I've had no probs)
2GB RAM
Q6600
Last year whenever I played graphically intensive games for 10 minutes my graphic card's temperature would go up to over 100 degrees and then my computer would shut down so I stopped playin games on it and got a xbox.
When I do nothing (surf internet) it's at like 75 degrees. (using CCC's overdrive thing to check temps) and I have a screenshot where once it went up to 120 degrees while playing NBA 2k10.
Couple days ago, I tried to play a crappy graphic game like Battlefield Heroes and it still crashed. I was thinking of getting a Dynex case fan from bestbuy: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/dynex-75-cfm-case-fan-dx-hf120m/10099820.aspx?path=33b5433afccb5dd12c79e10296dc2ed8en02
Does anyone know what I should do because I want to play the APB beta but I don't want my card to fry.
