Cool down a 7600 more

[illuminate]

alright. i have a XFX 7600gt XXX edition card
I got the speed fan beta to check the temps of it. and it idles at 43C. so i started up FEAR at 1280- by- 1024 resolution. so i was playing for all of 10 min to see how hot it would get.

and it hit 62C!

i wouldnt think that this lower end card would get that hot. so i check to see if there was anything (dust, random stuff) in the heat sink/fan exhaust, and its all clean. i even have one of these under it to help cool it.

sorry about the dust... i live in Korea... so the dust kills

any ideas on what i could do to fix it? or anything? i just think that it is way to hot with the type of card it is.

are you kidding me? those temps are very low.

I agree, my Foxconn 7600GT at stock would get around 69/70C and when overclocked it would get near 80C. Those temps are pretty darn good.

really? i thought that they seemed pretty hot for this card.

since someone mentioned it.. has anyone ever over-clocked this card before? and did it make that big of a difference?
