Overheating TNT2?

[impulse329]

I have an Asus 3800 Ultra Deluxe (TNT2 Ultra, no overclocking). I am running Win2k. When running any accelerated applications, the screen freezes after a few minutes and I have to perform a hard restart. I have tried different drivers (both Asus and Nvidia's) and used the card on different motherboards (BE6 and K7A-RAID). I underclocked the card to 125 mhz for the memory and 100 for the processor using powerstrip, and problem still occurred, just after a longer time. I am thinking the card is overheating. Any suggestions? Anyone know where to get a good replacement fan and memory heatsinks for this type of card?

Thanks,
Impulse

Try:

Tennmax

for a replacement fan. In the past, VIA had horrible Win2K drivers. Don't know if they have improved. I never used a Via motherboard under Win2K. There was a patch on Microsoft's website that fixed many problems with Via chipsets under Windows 2000 although I am not sure what the link to it was. I thought I had bookmarked it somewhere but I guess not.
