Hai Guys !
I have a XFX geforce 8800 GTS XXX @ 600/1900 factory OC Gfx Card.
The problem is the card is generating big heat especially when graphics intense games like FEAR. It touches about 80C . I am bit concerned about it.
I heard that I can control Fan speed by using a software. I had great result when increasing my fan speed to 100%.
But my friend told me that doing so will reduce the fan's life and will damage my cooling system.
So I switched back to Auto mode.
All I want to know is will this temperature(about 80C) reduce the life of my card ?
Running the Fan @ 100% reduce the life of Fan?
Do I have to buy any alternate Thermal solutions like THERMALRIGHT HR-03 PLUS to reduce the temperature of my Card?
Your Valuable suggestions are really appreciated...
Regards
