Just got done testing my new cpu and gpu with a game I had. The cpu never got above 58C, and the gpu never got above 64C. Are these temps normal or too hot. I don’t wanna fry anything.

I found a thermal compound that’s good and cheap but I need it for both my CPU and GPU but in the description they only talk about the CPU and only gi examples with it. Is i then only for CPU or could I apply it to my GPU as well?

Thanks.

I want to monitor the graphics cards memory to see if i need to upgrade it. Also if there is a why to monitor its GPU that would be useful also. I run both windows and Linux.

I wanna get 240 gt video card GDDR5. They come in two versions 512mb and 1 gb memory. I know that for the speed of the game the frequency of GPU is mostly responsible, but what does memory do?
Thanks you!

My laptop has a Nvidia GeForce 310M in it. It’s not a bad GPU because I’m able to play Crysis and GTA4 on med – high settings on highest resolution and it still plays smooth. I’m actually very impressed with the 310M. I was just wondering what desktop graphics card it compares to.
I was kind of thinking it compares to the Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT.

Nvidia admitted that the reason for the low heat tolerance of the affected GPU’s is due to a weak die/packaging material used to manufacture them. Does anyone know if nvidia has changed the materials used to manufacture these GPU’s for better heat tolerance? Dell changed my M1330 laptop motherboard 2 days ago. How do I know if the GPU in it is the improved one?

I’m looking to upgrade my GPU and RAM, but I’m not entirely sure if my motherboard can handle what I want to buy.

I have a Dell XPS420 if anyone knows off hand what it can handle, or…

Are there any programs out there, or other ways, that can tell me things like Brand, RAM capacity and type, PCI express capatability, etc?

Thanks!
