I recently thew a second 6600GT PCI-E card in my system, SLI, and have noticed that both cards run significantly hotter than then when I had a single 6600GT. I could run DOOM3 maxed out for hours, and the temp might get to 65C. Now, just powering up my system in SLI, the cards run at 65 and 71C at idle. Playing any game puts temps significantly higher.
A few days ago, I was flying Lock On, Modern Air Combat (LoMAC), paused it, went away for about 10 minutes, and upon return my computer had shut down. Obviously an overheat. I have five case fans kicking the heat out, so that isn't the issue.
It's impotant to note that I don't touch over-clocking, and I tried a couple of driver versions; at first the 77.77, then earlier versions but the problem persisted. Anyone encounter this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks,
KJ
