Stasrted getting graphical articfacts on my 6800gt while playing san andreas last night. Thought it may have been a corrupted driver so uninstalled old drivers and installed new ones. Happened to be looking at nvdia control panel and noticed the gpu temp at idle was about 86 deg.
Had a look at my gpu and noticed the fan wasn't spinning anymore(despite what I try to do, it won't work again).
Anyway, now on the lookout for a new cooler and need some help.
I want it as quiet as possible with good thermal performance. I know to get the best thermal performance normally means a loud fan so I want something that will work well but I know it won't be the best thermally if I want it to be as silent as possible.
I don't tend to play a lot of graphic intense games, - san andreas prob being the most intensive game I play at the moment.
Any suggestions? - also, are passive coolers any good?
