9500pro overheating
my 9500pro is overheating lyke crazy always rebooting my system when i play quake 3 for 4 hours (with a small house fan blowing on it). the card isnt overclocked at all and currently has stock cooling. When the computer is off and i touch the card its %$^#@#* hot. Now is this a known problem, am i gonna have to buy a new heatsink of something. Also if i do have to buy something can u guys recommend ?

You checked the stock cooling is attached properly?
If i were you i would get onto tech support and get a replacment, household fan should keep it cool, the fact it isnt is worrying

LOL
man a 2100 OC to 2700
and you blame it on the Video?
if you used the 2100 at stock, i don't think you'll have the trouble
or ADD a better case fan on the sides and top of the PC to extract the heat

I dont see how a heavily o/c CPU would make the gfx card heat up... The CPU yes, but the gfx card...

yeah it sounds odd, but it happends
when i run my system in sTock, it's cool
but when i OC CPU, the GPU also gets hotter only during games
i suppose the CPU is simply pushing/requesting more data that the GPU can crunch to keep up

Have you tried locking the AGP bus at 66MHz in the BIOS?

Yes the card is at stock speeds and voltages. I dont see how the processer being overclocked will affect the card, since this is a nforce2 mobo. O well some good news, i re-mounted that POS fan that comes in the card, card isnt heating up as much. In fact i dont need that house fan anymore, but for now it stays JUST IN CASE!.
O well maybe after the next lan i goto WATERCOOLING will be setup... hmm must save up $

If its the attachment of the GPU fan causing this then get it replaced by the company, it shoudl not come with defective cooling, having said that i once saw a review of a card where they held the hs/f on with two elastic bands and it ran okay fully stable
