Thanks for the feedback guys. I also have an update. I have decided to return the card back to the place of purchase and will soon get a replacement. In the meantime I am using my nVidia 8800GTS 512MB. I have really given the card a workout by playing Crysis with all video settings...

Guys, I'm thinking that I might just return the card and get a replacement and see how I go. Can't tell you guys, how disappointed I am. :(

Hi John, Thanks for your reply mate. I have just recently started to use RivaTuner and not 100% familiar with all it's features. Do you of any sites/user guides, which walks you through the process of re-configuring the GPU fan speeds in order to achieve lower temps?

Hi Guys, I recently bought a new Inno3D GeForce GTX295 1792MB DDR3 OC Edition (600/2160MHz) and would like to see what sort of temps you GTX owners out there are getting with your video cards at both idle and under load. I'm using RivaTuner and my approx temps are below: Idle: 75 Load...

Hi Guys, I recently upgraded both the motherboard and my video card and have been experiencing ongoing issues of the same symptoms with 3 of my most played games, which are BioShock, Counter-Strike Source and Crysis. Issue will occur at random, which results in game play pausing for a few...

Guys, I came to the final conclusion that it came down to incompatibility issues between the nForce chipset and PC8500 RAM modules or just simply a faulty motherboard as I used to experience the below issues: Unable to install Vista with more than 2GB installed as, the install would just...

Hi Guys, I'm experiencing a issue with not being able to run my Corsair Dominator's PC8500 at the full rated speed of 1066Mhz via BIOS. With everything set to default it still auto detects at 800Mhz. I'm using an Asus Striker II Formula motherboard and currently using the latest BIOS...

Hi iakona, I used to own a Q6600 running all at default speed/voltages using the standard HSF and I was hitting approx 50/55 at idle reading from the BIOS. I upgrade my HSF to the Zalman 9700NT and my temps dropped down to approx 30/35 so I got a major improvement just be investing in a decent...

Hi all, I have rolled back my BIOS rev to 1001 and I am no longer experiencing the issue therefore must be some sort of an issue with the new BIOS rev 1101 Thanks for all your help. Vio|37

Brian, I do not experience any boot up or POST issues as they only occuring if something is set in BIOS that your system cannot deal with. I suggested that you clear CMOS and make gradual changes, section by section, saving each time as you go along. Clearing the CMOS then going into...

Hi Brian, I'm going to download Everest and give that a go to see what sort of temps I'm achieving. Vio|37

Will do mate. Thanks for the reply. Vio|37

RussianHAXOR I always use the BIOS when it comes to measuring CPU temps. This morning I checked the idle temp and found that it was sitting on 35, which ain't bad. I just assumed that less voltage, would mean lower temps but I was wrong but it's OK. Vio|37

Hi Morkboy, As I said that I'm already running the latest BIOS rev 1101 but I took your advice anyway and reflashed my motherboard with the same BIOS rev and I still have the same issue. Maybe I should think about rolling back to rev 1001 Viol37
