agent_9000 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I recently got a DuOrb for my 2900xt, and I was execited to install it. So today I got the chance and did it... it was easy to install and was working great. I loaded up my system and went to go see my temps. I was amazed, my idel temp went from 62-65 down to 48!! Then I loaded up 3DMark06 and was suprised.... and not good suprised.... after about half way through the first demo my temp reached 115! At that point I got scared and quit the program... I don't know what to do. I tried re-installing it, and still, same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
