Should i move the motherboard fan to the gpu?

[johnmanth]

Hello, i have an Asus motherboard (i don't know the model because it is not displayed), and a gainward geforce 8600 gt.
The gpu is quite good for the games i want(cod 4 mw1,cod 2...) but it is easily getting hot(some times VERY hot) and my asus mobo has a small fan on it's cooler that can be easily moved to the gpu.
Should i move the fan to the gpu?
Thanks

Passively cooled cards do tend to run hot - I presume that you are not trying to overclock it! If you removed the fan from the CPU then that would quickly overheat and shut the computer down.

If you are worried about the heat then buy a 8600GT with a fan from eBay; it will cost you less that $20.

You can probably rely upon the manufacturer to know what they are doing. They put a fan on the motherboard so it is no doubt serving a useful purpose. If you want to put a fan on your GPU you would need to puirchase a separate one.
