Demo issues with heat

kombootje · 09-10-2011, 08:07 AM

I really want to play the Hard Reset demo but it seems that this isn't possible since, when I run it, my GPU heat went to a 90°C and kept going up! So I manually controlled the speed of my cooler, fired up the game again and it seems that the game turns off this manual control that I have over my cooler.

I use a Radeon HD 4890 and a Intel Core i7 920 in a Antec Sonata III case. Yes, my drivers are up to date. Everything is. Can someone help me out?

IS it an after market cooler?

As in, one I bought after I bought this PC?

No as in it isnt the standard one on the videocard. Some companies like XFX or EVGA will add aftermarket coolers to their cards.

I really have no idea. But I guess so since it doesn't display one on the receipt. A friend of mine put this rig together.
