Thanks for the feedback guys. I also have an update. I have decided to return the card back to the place of purchase and will soon get a replacement. In the meantime I am using my nVidia 8800GTS 512MB. I have really given the card a workout by playing Crysis with all video settings...

Hi mate, I too had a feeling that it might have been related to a heat issue. Yes my card does run hot (approx 60 idle, 85 load) but I have had other users also achieving those temps and have not had a problem. Also I have seen that it is not only GTX295 users experiencing the issue...

Sorry about that mate, I thought I had configured my signature correctly. I have updated it.

Hi Elganja, Thanks for your reply mate. I have just recently started to use RivaTuner and not 100% familiar with all it's features. Do you of any sites/user guides, which walks you through the process of re-configuring the GPU fan speeds in order to achieve lower temps?

Hi Guys, I recently bought a new Inno3D GeForce GTX295 1792MB DDR3 OC Edition (600/2160MHz) and would like to see what sort of temps you GTX owners out there are getting with your video cards at both idle and under load. I'm using RivaTuner and my approx temps are below: Idle: 75 Load...

Hi Guys, I recently upgraded both the motherboard and my video card and have been experiencing ongoing issues of the same symptoms with 3 of my most played games, which are BioShock, Counter-Strike Source and Crysis. Issue will occur at random, which results in game play pausing for a few...

Guys, I came to the final conclusion that it came down to incompatibility issues between the nForce chipset and PC8500 RAM modules or just simply a faulty motherboard as I used to experience the below issues: 1. Unable to install Vista with more than 2GB installed as, the install would...

Hi Guys, Only reason that I tend to think this is a compatibility issue between PC8500 modules and the nForce chipset is because my uncle also has an nVidia based chipset mobo (little older than mine) and he too suffers the same problem I have. I have also tried upping the NB voltage but...

Thanks for the reply mate. My modules are rated to run a max of 2.1v but I even tried 2.2, hoping that a little more juice might help but it didn't. As for the timings, mine are rated at 5-5-5-15 so I assumed running them at default setting would have let me achieve the 1066Mhz speed I was...

Hi Guys, I'm experiencing a issue with not being able to run my Corsair Dominator's PC8500 at the full rated speed of 1066Mhz via BIOS. With everything set to default it still auto detects at 800Mhz. I'm using an Asus Striker II Formula motherboard and currently using the latest BIOS...

I used to own a Q6600 running all at default speed/voltages using the standard HSF and I was hitting approx 50/55 at idle reading from the BIOS. I upgrade my HSF to the Zalman 9700NT and my temps dropped down to approx 30/35 so I got a major improvement just be investing in a decent HSF...

I have rolled back my BIOS rev to 1001 and I am no longer experiencing the issue therefore must be some sort of an issue with the new BIOS rev 1101 Vio|37

Hi all, In terms of voltage I am running everything at default with the exception of my memory voltage which has been manually set to 2.2v. Below are all my default voltage settings: vCore = 1.21 1.2 = 1.21 NB = 1.26 SB = 1.50 CPU PLL = 1.52 CPU VTT = 1.10 Vio|37

Hi all, I always use the BIOS when it comes to measuring CPU temps. This morning I checked the idle temp and found that it was sitting on 35, which ain't bad. I just assumed that less voltage, would mean lower temps but I was wrong but it's OK. I also always use good thermal compound...

Hey all, I own an Asus Striker II Formula motherboard and was running BIOS rev 1001. I just recently I flashed my motherboard with the new BIOS rev 1101 and found that now I'm unable to OC'd my FSB via the below location like I used to. Extreme Tweaker | AI Overclocker (Manual) | FSB...
