My GC (Palit 6800GS) and case get very hot when I play Titan Quest, Heroes 5 and Oblivion to the point where the game crashes and forced to reboot. Ambient temp is around 52-55 C while GC GPU temp is 72-82 C.

Please recommend me a fan to cool the case (Cooler Master Centurion).

I currently have a 3 mini fans on one of the CD-Rom brackets and 1 standard fan in front. I'm thinking of getting an additional fan for the back of the case.

System:

Intel 478 2.8 Ghz 800 FSB
1.5 GB (400) DDR RAM
WD 120 GB SATA HD
Enermax Liberty 500 watts PSU
6800GS AGP 256 MB (Nvidia 84.XX drivers and Riva Tuner, no OC just to increase GC fan speed)
Audigy 2

PS Sorry for the double post in Hardware

Yeah but I don't want to void the warranty.

Where can I find a Zalman Cooling kit for the GC in Low Yat?

OK, thanks for the info

Just Called Sri and they said they don't sell anymore. Anyone knows anywhere else to find this?

ianho, that what I thought at first. I notice if I remove the top lid my system does not crash, but negative aspect is that a lot of dust will collect inside the case after a while.

The original heatsink for the GC is very big but the heatsink looks very cheap like plastic, definitely not copper.

Stupid Sri Com staff, went there today saw the Zalman Kit (2 types). Dumbasses don't even bother to check if they have stock.

Went to PC Zone which they also sold, but problem is the kit does not protect the PCI-to-AGP bridge chip.

Check with Overclockers Paradise, also no cooling kit.

Check with Robyn, they said there is a Nvidia specific kit but no stock.

End of the day, bought a PCI slot cooling fan and 8 cm fan for the back of the case. Hopefully this works for the overheating problem.

But if anyone still knows of a cooling kit for the 6800GS AGP please inform me.

I thought my first post was clear "I'm thinking of getting an additional fan for the back of the case."

Thanks for the link, quite a few vga card cooling kits there too.
