I have an ATI HD4800 series card (Old skool I know!)
It serves me really well, I can play hours of Bad Company 2 or Modern Warfare 2 on pretty high settings.
But I'm starting to get annoyed as with some games, i.e. Skyrim, it will hit temps of over 85 degrees and the PC shuts down.
Now I can override the fan speed to 100% but its damn noisy. Could a good clean with a can of air fix this?
I even have an extra fan blowing air over the card, but it doesn't seem to help much.
Any idea's folks? Don't want to fork out if I can help it (and then I might as well get a whole new system!)
