Thanks for the replies. I think I will just remove the older ones, reboot, then load the newer package. CoolBits, I have not seen that in the Detonator setup before.

In the past on Win 98 and XP I have always gone to the Control Panel and selected Add/Remove Programs and taken the drivers out for my video cards. I then reboot and Windows detects the card and I then execute the drivers package. Of course I have to go through Nvidia's setup wizard again and...

Nope, no external sensors. Have not heard of that digidoc setup.

I had the prior ones to this I installed a few weeks back. Question...Should one always delete the present drivers, reboot, then when XP says it found new hardware execute the new file, or can one just execute the new file wthout deleting the old drivers first? I always hate having to redo all...

OK, I overclocked the vid card some. Stock is: Engine 250 Memory 400 Overclocked it to: Engine 275 Memory 460 The temp for the motherboard and CPU went up about 10 degrees each. Port Probe picture I may try it again later with it unclocked and see if it's a little cooler. 10 degrees higher...

It's only been on for about 20 minutes, but tonight when I host an Unreal Tournament, I am going to overclock the card some with Asus's utility and see what happens. I'll also monitor the case temps. Right now this is the stock temp with no load on the PC except for the browser and mail open.

When the Leadtech card is still in there, delete the drivers, then shut the PC down. Insert the Asus card (I have the exact same model) then boot up, and XP should find the card. However, do not install any drivers quite yet. Make sure you have the Detonator ones from Nvidia, they are the best...

It is cured. I found out my fan you don't have to knock off the fan from the heat sink, as there is none. You simply use a pair of pliers underneath the vid card and squeeze in two plastic tangs, and the fan pops off. Stock piece of crap Asus fan. I ended up buying a ThermalTake Crystal Orb...

Terrifies you, in what way? That sound clip came from a Quake III forum that I use. The FX5200 granted is not the fastest in the Nvidia lineup, but it does the job great. All my games look way better than the previous card I had which was a Creative GeForce One with 32 RAM.

Thanks for the info guy's. I'll get a chance to pull out my card next weekend, and I'll look it over. If all looks good, I'll order that Crystal Orb fan. I was all set to get a PCI slot fan, but the guy at Cooler Guy's did not think it would cool the GPU very good. new2AMD, you must be Sabre...

Hello, I have the Asus FX5200 vid card. The crappy fan on it is going out, and the place I bought it at says Asus vid cards are famous for the fan going out as they are not the better ball bearing type. Here's a picture of the fan setup on mine...
