ASUS V9520 X
I just bought this card for a secondary pc so i don’t need a fast
gaming video card. It ran for about an hour before I could smell something heating up. I touched the case and it was HOT !!! I opened the case and touched the heat sink on the GPU ....and my finger prints got melted right off. The damn thing was HHOOTT!!! I’m no genius but i don’t think a Video card should be that hot. This card does not have a fan on the heat sink. Here is the link and a picture. http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/v9520x-td/overview.htm I went and bought a small fan and mount it on the heat sink. It seems to be ok now but i can’t believe ASUS would build something that ****ty. Anyone out there experience a similar problem with this product? HELP !!! PS for some of you that have the case temp. higher than cpu temp and you also have this card then you know the cause. :roll: -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/Nvidia...pict60553.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
