What, activity on this thread? It seems as if we are a very small band. Kudos to everybody here.
I almost thought I was going to have to shut down my gpu folding as my card that used to run at 82 was running at 95-96 degrees

no matter what I did. That's too hot and there isn't the money for a new one right now. So being adventurous/foolhardy I took the heat sink assembly off, cleaned the old thremal compound off it, the chip, and where they'd slopped it around on the board, and put down a thin layer of Arctic Silver and WOW, she's now running at 66 and no longer needs a pair of extra fans. Zotac should be ashamed, I've never seen a heat sink machined as poorly as this one.
7.4 million points so far. How many other places can you do good without hardly any effort?
