So here's the deal: my 8600 GTS, which ive read is a geat mid-range card, has been way freaking out during the UT3 beta/demo. not only that but it seems to run a bit hot all the time. any suggestions as to how to cool it better? i was thinking of setting up some sort of liquid settup, but is there any better way?
thanx:)

Your problem could simply be lack of airflow in your case.. How many fans do you have for intake and exhaust?

Take the cover off the HSF ( 4 scrwes) and put a biger fan on it

3 fans, one in the middle of the side panel and two on the back..actually 4, if you count the mini one just behind the front filter panels.
