  • How hot does the G400 get?

    Hi!

    I was wondering if I need to put a fan on the G400 heatsink even if I am not overclocking the card?

    How about if I plan to overclock my system, using 124 fsb? Do I still need to put a fan on the card?

    I have a Super Slot fan next to the G400 now. I was hoping that it will help cool down the G400.

    Yes, that would be a wise thing to do.

        i heard that the g400 is pretty good with heat... you shouldn't need the fan if you are not overcloking... but we all have to agree that there is nothing better than a good ventilated system.

        Ciao
