I have a 9800GX2 from PNY and it was factory oc'd to 675 mhz. When i play a game like starcraft 2 during the summertime the game starts to lag and the video card is running at an incredibly hot 110C. The fan speed is at 100% and i even tried clocking the card slower with riva tuner. Idk if it is actually getting clocked slower or not though cus the temps dont seem to be affected. when i play other games like counter strike source the card runs fine at like 90C but thats still hot. I was wondering if anyone had any great ideas on how to get it to run cooler. thanks!|||Are you aware that StarCraft II fries graphics cards? There is no framerate limit in the game menus and Blizzard admitted this causes graphics cards to overheat.
You can fix this by opening the file "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" and adding the following lines to the document:
frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60
Your card will run much cooler in the game menus.|||Check to make sure your case is supplying a good airflow to the card and make sure the card is cleaned from any and all dust.
You can also try changing the thermal paste on the cards which should help reduce the tempature of the card|||same problem. only thing i dod was get water cooling and major fans all around it.
