My stupid computer continued to get cpu error recoveries while playing, so I'm letting it cool off for sunday. But I'm thinking if I can somehow speed up the fan (which I'm pretty sure you can do) that my graphics card will stop overheating A(if that's the problem) and I'll be able to play. So help? D: SOME ANSWER MY DAMN THREAD THIS TIME BTWIf things get to hot, variable fans (that work on temperature) already run at their max speeds. You can't overvolt fans, since the maximum voltage you can get out of you PSU is 12volt...
You can do 3 things:
- Clean the insides of your pc, removing all dust inbetween the fan/heatsink
- Apply new coolpaste to your cpu / gpu cooler - don't do this if you don't know what you're doing, since most cooling past conducts electricity...
- Buy a new CPU cooler with a high performance fan, con: your pc will get very loud, and the money you spend on the new cooler, you can spend on a new pc...
I don't know how old your pc is, but if it's older then 2 years, I suggest you start saving for new PC parts. And if it's only to play Maple, those shouldn't be a lot more then 200~300 euro, since you can keep some stuff from your old pc...
