f**** up nvidia drivers

[JR_Rider]

why do the new nvidia drivers for my 6800gt raise my temps 10 degrees? i wouldnt use them but i kept getting this everytime i run certain programs

now it doesnt happen or atleast so far but it raised my temps and thats MESSED up

I think a good number of people who had temp issues including myself solved it by overclocking it past 400mhz on the core.

First time I loaded up the 71.84 (I think) and tried running a benchmark, my computer crashed and the 6800gt died for 15 minutes. I shit myself when that happened but all is fine now

For some reason I can't get a halfway decent overclock on the 7x.xx drivers. I'm searching for the older one that I had before.

this is wierd, is it a common issue? How can a driver have anything to do with your temps? I thought only flashing BIOSs would do this.

enlighten me,

idk how but it did, and what you said works i changed it to 405mhz and it did idle at around 62 now its back to its normal 51 GREAT!!

rumor is the drivers have control over the voltage, but only nvidia knows how to control the voltage through the drivers... notice the clock diff between 2d and 3d mode.. theres a voltage difference that goes along with that and when the drivers arnt loaded its in 3d mode
