BFG GeForce4 Ti 4200-8X 128MB DDR at stock speeds on PCI locked overclocked mobo, AGP is set to 66.
Since I had a large Antec case, I thought it made sense to get 5 quiet case fans. They were quiet and weak so I had a situation where the case temp was about 40 C. CPU was 50 when heavily stressed so I didn't care but....
I had black dots that look like tire tracks on my Windows Me boot up screen (Geforce4 Ti card). They only appear after the computer's been on for a while and disappear when the system is off for a little while.
They disappeared (well, there are still a few) after I put back the two Antec fans in (and kept the three quiet weak ones).
Case temp is now 35 C. Could 39 or 40 C cause tire tracks like dots?
I reapplied Arctic alumina, and there's a nice copper heatsink on there... still even at 35 C there's a couple of dots.
What case temp is bad for video card?
