Stupid graphics card. Kept trying to figure out what the problem was. It turns out that the thermal paste on the chip was pretty much gone. I scraped off the old layer which had turned to crust, put a new layer of paste on and, bam! Instan 12C drop in idle temps thumb.gif


I had a feeling this was the case about a month ago. I'd put in the PCI slot cooler and that appeared to have solved the problem. I should have still checked the card out since I had a pretty good air flow going through my case. I didn't really think air was the issue. Oh well. At least the solution was easy since I already had the thermal paste wink.gif
