I thought of that, but I've been using the same driver for a month without any problems. The only thing that I think I've installed before everything started was rivatuner 2.03, but I have it in both PCs and uninstalling it did not help. The new video card is in my other PC and today, during...

An update for anyone who's interested: I've replaced the video card (8600GT) with an old 6600GT and there seem to be no problems at all. The 8600GT I installed in another PC and again no problems. With the video cards swaped everything works perfectly. It looks like the suspect(the video card)...

This is a weird one. First of all, the components (the PC is few months old, zero issues until now): mobo: Gigabyte 965P DS3, rev 3 cpu: E4300 (not OC) video: Leadtek 8600GT psu: Enermax noisetaker 420W monitor: Samsung 226BW 22" A couple of days ago I noticed during a game that the video...

My current fileserver is a pentium 4, but I'd like to replace it because I have my gaming rig in the same room and it gets pretty hot (the AC has to be on while I'm on my computer) JackMDS, a NAS box looks like alot of trouble (many if not all of the people who bought one had problems with the...

I would like to install a file server on my wrt54gl router (dd-wrt firmware) to replace my current file server. I've thought of buying a case (with ethernet support) for one of the HDD and adding a mmc card to the router, but I'm not sure this will work. I can't put money into this if I'm not...

Blain, you are right, the Samsung drives are quiet and run much cooler than other drives. Netu, thanks for the links, I will check them out.

What's the best choice when it comes to hard disk silent/performance? Samsung?

I would like to know if anyone tried or read about flashing the Leadtek 8600gt bios with the Leadtek 8600gt extreme bios.

Update: I've just got an email back from Leadtek and they cliam all their 8x00 cards don't support manual control the fan and that the bios controlls it. This is not true since after installling the driver the fan slows down.

This is exactly what I did but the minimum speed is 100%/"GPU temp". When on Automatic the speed is 98%/"GPU temp". I can't get it lower than 100%, but I can higer.

I've already installed the 162.18 drivers and ntune. The only option in Nvidia Control Panel is for 3D and the minimum value is 100%/48C - this is also the "automatic fan control config.

Hi. I'm looking for a way to lower the fan speed from my Leadtek 8600gt card. Don't get me wrong, the card is not that loud (when in Windows), but it's the loudest component and I'm hopping to change that. When I boot/reboot the PC the fan is at full speed and the noise level is high (I think...

Another link I see what you mean, but why would a sticker mean that's second hand?

Here is a higher resolution pic and as you can see it looks new Better Pic And I saw there other PC components with the similar looking stickers on.
