Video Card Temp

[clocker]

I had (have, actually) one of the those two fan HDD coolers.
They work, but they are NOISY!

How do you "tape" the senser on to your video card? Wont the tape melt. Also...with the heatpipe coolers for the HDD without any fans, just the copper heatpipes...do you just mount those around the harddrive and it cools it alot?

evidently not...

vid cards shouldn't get hot enough to melt plastic tape, if they do, there's a rather large problem

I just use electrical tape. Abu.

It ain't that hot.

not really. i&#39;m about 2-3 feet away from my pc, and i hear a very low humming. wait, do u have sleave or ball bearing fans? i think mines ball, sory bout the sleave mistake. i&#39;m pretty sure it&#39;s ball, or else it would be cheaper b4 rebate

@clocker: i fit the sensor probe snuggly in between the fins of the hs. my temp rite now is 30 C with no games running at all tonite. wats a good temp?
