Guys help me please sorry if this is a noob question, I have my old pc . and put another video card crossfire it to improve gaming performance ( 2 x Gecube hd 4850 512 mb ). here’s the specs:
Operating system: windows xp professional x64 edition
Amd atlon 64 x2 6000 3.0ghz
Asus m2n-sli 560 sli
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131246
4 gig 2x2 kingston ddr2 pc 800
Gecube hd 4850 512 mb
http://www.shopbot.com.au/pp-gecube-radeon-hd-4850-512mb-gc-hd485pg3-e3-price-116753.html
My problem is when I play games as if I can’t feel the improvement. So heres my questions:
1. How would I know if crossfire is running?
2. How could I improve the cooling ? cause when I play games the temperature reaches 80 to 90C.
3. Then I try to enable the manual fan control and set it to 75%, and still too hot and too loud. Plus when I reboot the pc. When pc starts to boot again, I don’t hear the fun running at 75%.... you need to open the catalyst control center again to activate the fan speed to 75%.
Any help would be much appreciated
