<description><![CDATA[WutanG posted : Well I can only speak from my experience but I have a 9800 GTX + and I only use a 400 watt corsair PSU.  I've had no issues at all with this(I have 3 HDD's,2 dvd burners,4 case fans and a cpl usb items hooked up,pretty average). I've read also in different places that a 9800 gt will only use 180-210 watts rated consumption. (about 210-270 watts under load) (&raquo;<A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-radeon-power,2122-3.html" >www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gef&middot;&middot;&middot;2-3.html</A>). So considering your other peripherals you have installed too will be a factor.<br><br>350 watt on a cheap HP PSU is definitely not enough but I beg to differ you need a 500 watt or more PSU. <br><br>Whatever you do, I suggest getting one with more than 400 watts, high amp per rail rating(25a-30a), and 80 plus certified. Do your research because there are alot of  crappy PSU's out there.<br><br>With all that being said, i believe corsair is making the best PSU's out right now for the quality and money involved. With the research I did.(after my 500 watt aspire one died after 2 years)<br><br><small>--<br>Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fuckin' muscle.<br> -Wooderson</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sircolby45 posted : Does anyone know of a good graphics monitor program where I can check to see if this is the case? Also if it is the case can I turn the fan speed up?<br><br>Edit: Looks like you are right about the heat issue. It is sitting at 74C and I am not even playing a game yet. I am not seeing a place in Speedfan to turn the fan speed up though. I am going to try RivaTuner and see if that has something.<br><br>Edit: Ok I got RivaTuner to put the fan speed to 100% and the temperature is rapidly coming down. Any ideas for a more permanent solution than running the fan 100% when in use? What I don't understand is why my software let it get to that temperature in the first place.(It was trying to cool it because it never turned up the fan) I can only imagine the temperature of this thing whenever I was actually using it whenever it was 74C at the desktop. I took the case off and the GPU was literally almost too hot to hold your finger on it. It looks pretty clean though and it is only a year old. <br><br>Edit: Ok I just tried playing a 58C and it still had the same problem. Also I noticed in the tray that it says something about the display driver failing and recovering. So maybe it is a display driver? Is 74C too hot for an idle temperature?<br><br>Edit: Ok the GPU gets up to about 83C under load with factory fan settings.<br><small>--<br>[IMG]&raquo;<A HREF="http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2636/1208219968683dg6.gif" >img218.imageshack.us/img218/2636&middot;&middot;&middot;3dg6.gif</A><br>Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit / Q6600 / 9800GT / 4GB RAM</small>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sircolby45 posted : Ok turns out turning off the AA only lessened the issue. It is still there. Also I have been playing on the free multiplayer week on Crysis and I am seeing the same thing there...<br><br>Edit: Ok maybe this is the problem. I notice that my refresh rate is at an odd number(59Hz). No problem I can just change it to 60...If only it were that easy. Every time I change it to 60Hz it just reverts back to 59Hz no matter if it is in Windows settings or Nvidia control panel. I looked up my monitor HP W2207H and according to the specs it should have a maximum refresh of 60Hz. :/ Any ideas?<br><br>Edit2: Ok finally figured out how to force it into 60Hz, but this did not help. Turning down the AA in BF2 significantly helps the problem and makes it occur much less frequently.
