I had the same problem too. my video card is GF2 MX400 and after I updated my video driver to the latest one, the problem solved. I think you can try different version of video drivers... might help. I also installed DX9 provided by SC... hope this help...

This might be a stupid question to a lot of people I don't OC my system and I am sick of noise so I disable all the case fans, the fans that are running are the CPU fan, the 2 fans on the PSU. That's all. My system spec. AMD XP 2000+ 768Mb DDR 2100 Gainward Nvidia 4200 128Mb 350W PSU GlobalWin CAK38 with 1x 60mm 3000rpm fan + 1x 80mm 3000rpm fan (I managed to bridge them together using the 60mm to 80mm adaptor. I think I can omit other components Using my Abit winbond hardware doctor, the CPU temp. is approx. 50C and 55C after a few rounds of games. (case temp. maintain @ 31C), room temp. 24C The system is very quiet.. and I like it very much I understand the temp. should be as low as possible, but under normal condition, is this ok? thanks for all your feedback... appreciated.

Thanks Bursar... how about 5v then? Is it possible to run the fan @ 5v? and how would the wiring be for 5v?

Quote: It is a tad on the high side, but not high enough to cause a major panic. But it also depends on how accurate the reading is. It's not unheard of for the thermistors to be out by 10&c! You could always run your case fans at 7v instead of 12v. You get less airflow, but significantly less noise. Is your PSU in such a place that is sucks up heat from the CPU and exhausts it out the back? If not, it might be worth having a rear exhaust fan running at 7v, and that should help to bring the temps down a little. Hi Bursar, Well, the PSU fan is just beside the CPU and it sucks the air out through the PSU. Could you please tell me how to wire the wiring to give 7v? Can a 120mm fan running at 7v? Thanks.
