I have a Sapphire 9800 Pro -XT flashed with the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer on it.
This setup has been running fine for over a year. Now all the sudden It has been getting warm on me. I can't even play games for very long and it will not lock up, but basically eject me from the game. I look down and my Temp on the video card is up over 60.
I just flashed the card back down to the original PRO not XT and the temp is still up around 70 IDLE!! Or so ATITool 0.24 says GPU/CHIP is 70/50.
I already have a total of 6 fans in this case and everything else is keeping cool. Any idea why my card would be doing this?
Thanks for any help
