New Theory: GTX 7900 with 512 MB killed the motherboard ;) (Overheat !)
Hello,
I noticed in the nvidia control panel the temperatures of the these two graphics cards (sli) are 50 degrees celcius in idle mode ! That's pretty high ! Add to the fact that the gfx fans are probably spinning very slowly because of idling, Add to the fact the output holes are very tiny, Add to the fact there is little spacing between them, Add to the fact the airflow in the case was not optimal, Add to the rumor the mb sensor is near the cards, and there you have my new theory: The GTX cards killed the motherboard ! Overheat !  Some questions: 1. Is it possible to underclock these cards ? 2. Is it possible to make the fans spin a bit faster even in idle mode ? Bye, Skybuck.
