    Windows 7 Laptop fan constantly on/ running hot.

    So long story short, my hard drive died on me so I installed a 1T SSD and got it up and running again. Couple days later it overheated twice. I wasn't doing anything that would require much processing. I only had a few tabs open in Fire Fox. The computer locked up and made a terrible noise from...

    Windows 7 Downclocking GPUS to idle.

    Hi, I am using nvidia multi display power saver with SLI. With two monitors both cards are running at 51mhz and temps are good. Is this safe to force downclock all the time until I need the extra power/3D?

    Windows 7 Computer crashes into blue screen after playing CS GO.. wtf?!

    It freezes and then crashes. First i thought it might been the temp on the GPU cuz it was up at 80 C but did a stress test with both aida64 extreme and FurMark and had it on for 20min. The temp went up to 90C but it didnt crash. I went into safe mode and uninstalled the drivers and then...

    Windows 8 Blocking GPU fan intentionally

    I'm having issues with one of my GPU's fans (it features a dual-fan cooling) and will have to fix it soon.
