No silly...  Didn't know your rock could do the GPU stuff.. What? Water cooling? Easy! Rock + bucket + water ... job done!  |

New cards seem to run hotter..........Not sure if that is because of the brand or because of the cpu (AMD vice Intel )..........  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Which brand of card seems to run cooler?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
The BFG's run super cool white the EVGA's run hot.............The BFG's are running on the Intel quads while the EVGA's are running on the X2 Athlons..........
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
don't the evga's have a better warranty, though? or at least that's what i've read...

It doesn't concern me as I can touch the cards and not burn my hand...........Might swap cards to see if the problem swaps.......... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let us know if its the card or cpu when you do..

Didn't feel like swapping the cards so I am just going to watch the temps on the two that are running hotter

I went out and bought a ATI Diamond 1gig 4870 video card to crunch for Milkyway and hopefully some more projects in the future......These projects have their growing pains but are getting better with each update.......I spent the better part of the day getting everything to work the way I WANT IT TO..... I have 4 GPU and 4CPU tasks running together and everything looks like it is working........I guess that time shall tell.........

Have wondered how much a card would heat up crunching. |
