    And no I'm not joking.

    I played 15 minutes of guild wars and the GPU hit 115C!!!!! (nvidia monitor)

    I switched it to power saving mode (275/200), it went back to 92 and then started to go up, it hit 105C!

    My CPU was running at 72.

    That's just insanely high! Fans were working normally (they don't get a boost in guild wars though, only in 3dmark).

    Is there a way to force to fans to run at full speed or there is definetly a problem with my unit or anything????

    Way too hot lol.

    Sounds like your heat sink is not mounted well or your fans are not comming on properly.

    115C= 240F

    I re did another 3dmark and this time.

    In the first 2 tests, it went to 97, then during the cpu tests, it went to 78, and then for the 2 lasts it stopped at 94.
    Playing Crysis (fans were better than in GW ), it stayed at 102.

    WOW, That is hot!! I would contact Asus about that, there is probably something wrong with the heatsink like ViciousXUSMC said.

    if the fans are not going full blast its your setup with software, if they are then its a bad heatsink mounting. Its as easy as that.

    Vista x64 I think somebody else had issues with the fans aswell. I didnt tho.

    Update to the newest bios and make sure you installed all the utillities from the drivers disk.

    I just checked the GPU heatsink. It seems to be going up a bit slower than usual.

    I'm on V801. On CPU tests, they run at 100%, I'm pretty sure. On Guild Wars they run like they do on windows standard mode. In Crysis it's about 80% I'd say


    EDIT:Now they are working a bit better. Guild Wars keeps it about 102C, versus the 115 earlier this this morning. CPU is strange though, it's about 60C when i go back to the desktop, it goes to 68


    The only fan I see in NVMonitor is "AUX1-4RPM" is that normal?

    In Ken's topic for theGDDR3 one, we can see Nfoce-400RPM and AUX1-30,000 RPM
