well he had the wrong power supply so i am gonna plug the new one into when he brings me the computer. Hopefully nothing got fired, will keep everyone updated.

Hey Guys, My friend was building his pc and was having some troubles and asked me to come over to help. When i got there i noticed that he plugged a 6pin PCI-E cable into the 8 pin atx power connector on the motherboard. Now my question is do you think he fried the Motherboard or the CPU?

doing this will confirm a faulty sensor if you can put your finger on it for a few seconds then it it not running at what it says it is.

it is all connected sata devices beacuse i got all 4 of my HDD on there but none of my DVD roms are there

get a power supply tester and test your power supply too make sure its good then we can rule it out or not. It sounds like the card to me thou, i had same probelm with my 8800 GT from BFG, so i sent it back mine was hitting almost 90C so when i got the new one back i put a zalman VF-1000...

its usually an auto adjust button

idle at 34c and 50 full load on my 8800 GT oc2 with this

well after the thermalpaste set it my idle temp is 34 and max load is 50 couldnt be happier

my cores idle at 48,44,44,45 with stock cooling no over clock and full load i get 68,66,65,67 with a crappy 36 CFM exhaust and intake fan on the thermaltake shark case so i would be happy with those temps.

those are pretty bad idle temps. GPU should not be going over 80, the more over the bigger risk of causeing damage.

ok i bought this and put it on screw the warrenty if i need to RMA i will put the stock back on and send it in. idle temps 37 max load 52

that will void my warrenty thou.

well those temps are with fan 100% and 100% load

Hello, First i would like to start buy saying this forum is awesome found so much useful info here i cant even start to say thank you. Now to my issue hehe, i have the above graphics card and i think it is running hot. It idles at 51 according to everest and gpu-z with fan speed at 65%...

did you check the manufacture website for the correct timings?
