Its not insane temperature but its pretty hot.

Try cleaning out the tower with some compressed air. Make sure there is plenty of airflow.

Thanks, a good clean out has gotten the running temp down to about 79 continuous.... Just watching him play I think hes over clicking as well causing the lag.

Thanks again

The Quadro 600 is also very weak for games, which would put it under high stress. If you're even looking at casual gaming, it won't cut it. It's not designed or intended for that use.

thanks for that, yeh i got it more for rendering than gameplay.... minecraft is the only half decent game played on it.

in the meantime ive put minecraft on the xbox for him so hopefully that resolves the issue
