Is it safe to run 8600GT without fan, only with cooler sink? I have this old noisy 8600 GT that I'd like to put as dedicated PhysX card, but I hate how it makes noise. What is the safe level with the heat it can manage? 80'C? |

Some googling sounds like 80C is a good place to aim for, 100C is when the card starts to slow itself down. Underclocking a bit is always an option as well to get it to run cooler. If the cooler has any plastic shroud bits on it I would take those off to allow more "ambient" (if you will) air flow to cool it down (currents from intake and outtake fans). |
