well thanks you guys, great response even within a days time...

it is indeed an old card but i remember installing it liek it was yesterday (hehe)

i am planning to get a new pc before 11-11-11 (for those of you who know what happens then)

i think i'll have it running duing school days(if i get it to run at stable temps...)

i am now going to check my fans thanks once again for your advice...

so i have been mining bitcoins with my gpu on and average of 28 mhash/s
(a geforce 9800 GTX plus) back in the days it was the fastest available...

however i noticed the temps can really run up high (85 degrees centigrade) causing my pc to shut down for security reasons...

my hdd also runs up to high tempratures, i am goign to buy some fans however i want to make sure my pc caps it's capacity when it reaches certain tempratures (hdd 48 degrees gpu 80 maybe even less...)

maybe anyone of you knows a good programme for capping it's capacity at higher temps...

why hello there!

obviously i'm new, i'm from the netherlands and my name is the result of my fingers randomly hitting the keyboard(omglol so random...)...

so i did encounter my first problem... i'll be making a new thread for this in well i guess the newbies section...
