Noisy Graphics card

paulgrogan.eu · 2011-10-22 15:36:31

Hi guys, I've got an NVidia GeForce 256mb graphics card with 2x DVI Ports with 2 19" Dell LCD Monitors connected. After the PC is on for about 15-20 minutes the fan gets quite noisy, like a quiet hoover. I have a fan at the front of the tower, but not at the back, would an additional fan at the rear help or is there…

Hi guys,

I've got an NVidia GeForce 256mb graphics card with 2x DVI Ports with 2 19" Dell LCD Monitors connected.

After the PC is on for about 15-20 minutes the fan gets quite noisy, like a quiet hoover.

I have a fan at the front of the tower, but not at the back, would an additional fan at the rear help or is there something else I can do?

Assistance and advice very much appreciated.

The card is getting hot i would say and the fan is just cycling up to cool it check the temp with gpu-z. Run it on boot and just watch the sensors for temp . Yes a fan on the back will help as that card is putting hot air back into the case as far as i remember .
