    Hey NBR

    I recently sucessfully installed an nvidia 9600 Gt video card into my c90s. It went pretty well, though the drivers were a to find. I did all of this on vista and recently upgraded to 7. Since then, I have noticed that my video card runs at 90C-100C and the fans run at a lower RPM. I have NO idea why...

    So I need to know how to increase fan speed manually, the bios just has a monitor, and I have tried speedfan but I cannot work it for the life of me.

    What are some other ways to decrease the running temp of my video card? because at this rate, it will not last the week. Im going to pick up a cooling fan later tonight, so what model should I get?

    I Just installed a new video card and had to re do some drivers, and now my fans blow at a constant rate on my c90s, which is an idle speed. My video card goes up an excess of 100C, and im pressing my luck with it. What could be wrong?

    Hey nbr

    I cant find out why my fans are constantly on low RPMs, even when I begin to stress the computer, they just stay on low, as my cores climb to 50C+ and my video card hits 120C.

    How the hell do i fix this? I dont want to damage my computer any more.

    have u installed the heatsink etc properly? Also what card have u installed in C90S as stock is old faulty 8600M GT? It really looks like a bad thermal paste job or heatsink problem when u installed new GPU.

    Do not create multiple threads on the same topic. I have merged them all into this one.
