3D FUZION FX 5500 DRIVER DOWNLOAD

Even on newer cards, all I've seen is fans that run at variable speed, but never shut off. Oct 10th, at 6: I think it only happens with certain driver releases. I recently burned out a fan header on a motherboard by connecting a seized up fan. If it doesn't work after that or is making a rattle sound toss it, and get another much better chipset cooler.

I only used it to upgrade so I could play Half Life lol.

Do you want FREE stuff like this? I was running it fusion Windows XP. It's possible there's a problem with the fan header on the card, but more likely it's just the fan. I would SO grab this if i knew what was the deal with these GeForce's. Discussion about old PC hardware. Users browsing this forum: It seems odd that the fan should not be running, so I did not do any further testing so as not to damage the GPU.

The fan casing is quite hot to the touch -- Voodoo3 heatsink hot. When I inspected the card, the fan was clogged with dust, which I removed with compressed air.

Microsoft Windows 98 or higher. I'd just get a passive heatsink for it and be done with it, unless you really want a small fan in the system.

If your system meets these minimum requirements then yes: As far as cards that turn their fans off completely, the only one I've ever observed is the FX Ultra, which will shut its blower entirely off when it drops to idle state it's kind of unsettling the first time or two you observe it while the card is gaming, but logging indicates that it knows what it's doing, and never lets the GPU get all that hot especially by modern standards.

I used to play online games quit a bit and it worked perfect for that. I never had issues with it overheating, and even overclocked it a little bit without problems.
