I am running a Galaxy Geforce 8400 GS 512 mb PCI Express video card on my system. I have no exhaust fan in the back, but the video card does have a GPU fan on it. The fan flucutates from being pretty silent to sounding like its stuttering. Should I 1) get a fan for the back of the PC 2) get a VGA slot cooler (do they make them for PCI-E slots?) or 3) just look into a better video card with potentially a better fan?|||Graphics cards have fans for a reason. With current technology they get very hot indeed and need cooling. Not doing so would risk burning the card out.
Of course, the fan doesn't run all the time, only when the card gets to a certain temperature which is why you get silence then stuttering. It could be dirty or, if it's a card getting on a bit, the bearing could have worn. Or the fan could have even come loose.
You could try carefully removing the card and having a look. Maybe it just needs a dust or it's something obvious (a wire just above the fan, causing the tapping noise) which can be easily rectified.
And pc's do get hot anyway. A case fan is recommended.|||it will run
everything will be fine
EXCEPT,
your pc will hang/restart if
1) you played a video for about a min
2) open a flash game
3) played a computer game
4) your computer will instantly restart if you are using vista or w7
well, you can buy a fan thats also the same size with your v-card fan.. the problem comes in installing the fan in the v-card..|||It would start but it you can't go on it very long of it will break.
