| I'm having some issues with my GPU fan while I'm playing, only d3 though, it doesn't happen in other games, Is there some simple solutions to this problem? I've tried to cap the FPS with vsync, didn't work, I'm pretty sure that dust is not the problem. My PC is old though, GF 8800GTS 512mb, intel c2d e6850, 4gb ram.. | ||

| smiLey, Due to the age of the card you have, I'd suggest taking a good look at it outside the computer and clean out any dust/dirt accumulation in the fan assembly and heatsink. If you hear the fan spinning up, the card is just trying to protect itself due to it getting too hot. When removing the card for inspection/cleaning, be sure to remove the power plug from the computer first. ______________________________________________________________ I'm available in the forums Monday - Friday 6:00 am - 3:00 pm Pacific Time, Feedback? - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Omrakos | ||

| smiLey, The card isn't the best for it but the game's not going to make it overheat as long as it's cooling system is operating properly. I've got a couple of the same cards at home and over the years, they easily accumulate dust. Replacing the actual fan on them isn't easy as it'll be hard to find one so cleaning is really your best and cheapest bet. But, you may have to replace it if cleaning isn't helping. ______________________________________________________________ I'm available in the forums Monday - Friday 6:00 am - 3:00 pm Pacific Time, Feedback? - https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Omrakos | ||
