I had issues like that happen to my older Athlon 64 / 6800GT system when my 500W CoolMax power supply was not doing its job. The 8800GTX should be fine around 80*C - that's hot as hell, but I've been running my stock-clocked eVGA at that temp at full load for two years. What power supply are you running? Brand is usually more important than pure wattage - I'd take a 620w Corsair/SeaSonic over an 800w Thermaltake any day. To cool the 8800GTX, a Thermalright HR-03 Plus with 120mm fan is an excellent solution.. be sure to install the ram heatsinks properly too.Originally Posted by 'beyond-tec',index.php?page=Thread&postID=168734#post16873 4
