hey guys
first of all how are you ?
so am going to tell you the whole story ( sorry if its long xD)
so i bought a card Zotac GTX 460 SE (used coz i got it with a low price ) i tested it on some benchmark progs and it worked like charm even thought the fan was alittle noisy anyway so i put it in the PC started it everything worked great but when i started playing a hardcore game (like Crysis 2 ) after 2 hrs the PC stoped and i was like what happened so i tried testing the PC and i found that the card was overheating and then stop the whole PC so i dont know what is the problem ... is the card broken or does it need something to start working good (maybe trying to use some thermal paste ) ?!?! so if u guys can help me what should i do in order to fix it (or so) before i do something that would damage it more (thats if its not completely damaged )
and also i have another question :
when i started MSI afterBurner to check the temp i found that the card name was strange i dont know something like G60 (idont know for sure ) not GTX 460 SE (or GTX 460 at all ) and the fan limited to 70 % (coz i tried to put it the max it might do better but no ... ) so is this a problem or its ok ?
thanks alot guys and sorry if its long but can you please help me with this problem
