Hey, I just replaced a ATI X1600 with a NvIdia 8600GT and my temperature (no OC) starts out at like 67C and jumps up to 110C.

Whats going on here? My my ATI card never got above 76C.

Im scared im going to melt the floor after a whole is burned in the computer.

Any thoughts?
 
graphics cards can get very hot but you want to make sure that you have good airflow through your case to keep everything cool
 
its a an older Dell Dimension 8400.

The ATI card ran fine.

When i opened the case, the card was really hot.
 
Forget this, this card is screwy, I left the case open for the best airflow and it ended up going to 90 C before I turned it off
 
Try another 8600. Somthing has got to be wrong with your present card. Thay never run like that. You should be seeing 50/60 cel.
