  • Asus Nvidia Geforce 3 Ti200 cooling

    Hi!

    I recently bought an Geforce 3 Ti200 and it has a thermal sensor built onto the PCB which measure internal GPU temperature.

    When I run it without overclocking it has a stable temp of 47C under load. (Playing Wolfenstein high detail for about an hour)

    I can overclock it to 230/520 and the temp rises to 53C.

    So I bought a Crystalorb cooler and mounted that on the PCB. I have however not seen a decrease in tempertature at all! This thing has a 6600 RPM fan and a copper base! I all reviews I have read about it, temp decreased from between 5-10 degrees overclocked or under heavy load.

    I did not apply new thermal grease to the GPU or Crystalorb. There was plenty on there allready to just attach the Crystalorb.


    Do you think I would gain anything from using Arctic Silver? Is this even recommended on GPU's. Or is it only for use with processors?

    Suggestions are welcome.

    Regards,

    Jake

    I doubt using Artic Silver will make any difference and if it makes any only very little !

    The way to go would be to apply some more case cooling, because not matter how good a cooler you use it can't make any differences if it only has hot air to work with !
    You could try to remove one side from the case and see if it has any effect at all !

      I'm curious about why you want to overclock your card already?

      I just got a new system almost exactly like yours (same video, processor, and mobo). It runs every game I have with all visual settings at max without the need to overclock anything.

      What applications do you have that require more power from the video card?
