Overheating 3d card

[Gabriel Knight]

Hi all I have a rig only a few months old I searched for the parts new from
the shops and got it assembled professionaly, I have :

3D card - Geforce 9800 GTX+
PC case - Ultrix Atrix AT9006

The case is here -
http://www.unitekworld.com/product_nei.asp?childID=&productID=213
the one as above is very close to what I have except for the size of the fan
at the back mine is bigger.
Im having overheating problem with my 3d card, the case temp gets to 55
Degree C for my 3d card and beeps but that is with hardley any usage, the
wire that gets the temp for the case is in a good spot, I have even
installed a new fan on the side of the case just where the 3d card is and I
still get a warning for heat of the 3d card. should I set the warning temp
to more than 55 degree C (is that safe?) or am I missing something? Or is my
case not good for heat dispersion? If so what is a good case

Overall I have a big fan at the back sucking out the air and one on the side
blowing air on the 3d card.

You've set the temperature warning WAY too low. Silicon doesn't get
damaged until at least 80C so I'd be setting the warning at 75C.

Could be the GPU may benefit from a HS/Fan replacement. Bit of
research into any papers accompanying the unit, or experiences of
others using the card. Is it a chip that's sold into various venues
for OEM production, and could that involve cost-cutting
considerations, such as cooling. Being a processor, in its own way a
CPU, I'd tend to regard it as such;- and I do prefer lower
temperatures.

Thanks Conor dose anyone know how to set the temp to 75 C on the LCD pannel?
also I think the highest the temp can be set to is only 65 C !

Is this correct?
