Thank you!

Right click on the desktop then...

Properties > Settings > Advanced > Adapter

and it should tell you there.

or you could open up your computer and put you graphics card into your microwave and it should tell you.

His idea is best.

also if you want to flash your bios on your motherboard. You can also take out the sucker and gently place it a baking tray and lightly bake the ******* for ten mins at 450 degrees celcius, when it comes out you should have an overclocked beast that has a much higher allowance for the cpu voltage.

For added cooling you could also leave one side of your case open and get a desk fan blwing cold air noto the baby.

I hope the tips help.

Nah!!!

If you want to keep it extremely cool just trash your mothers fridge and place the cooling element in your case...

LMAO

This thread is hilarious, but a little off-topic so I'm going to have to ask to throw it back on topic guys, even though I did participate.

Sounds like something i did when my cooling fan just stopped working

But it was good, it decreased the temperature a good 10-14 degrees celsius.

Hey, my PC gets warmer when I take the sides off! I guess I must have the fan balance and sealing just right!

Oh, and it can run without any fans for up to 5 mins... god bless watercooling and the miracle of convection....

m0g, you are far to 1337 for us.

What if you are one of us poor peasents that cannot afford watercooling? a desk top fan is just as adequate.

I reckon if you interegated a mini toilet seat, a microwave and a fridge. You could live on your computer chair without being more than 2 feet away from your pc.

*on topic
you can also find out what gf cards you have on the boot up bios, it sometimes displays itself, depending on what manufacturer you have

Actually Milkdrop, I made the whole system of watercooling for £50 - the same price as a top-range CPU aircooler. God bless the lord of scrapyards, Halfords, and gardening stores nationwide.
