Any suggestions on a utility that will keep a log file? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hayes Elkins Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 12:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] Water-cooling
I would run a utility to record GPU temps while gaming to gauge what kind of heat you are outputing before crashing. The 9600GT's run relatively cool and again I seriously doubt heat is causing the issue.
