					|  |  
					| Hello Folks!
I'm new here
   And i've got a problem with my Leadtek A 6600 GT TDH...
 In every other game, i've got no problem with the temperatur of the card! (e.g. GTA:SA, NFSU2 etc etc)
 But now in Fable, the game freezes every bout 5-10 minutes and i have to reboot my whole system.
 After some research, i found out that my card has got a core temperatur of about 68-72 °C!
 
 I dunno if thats an error of the game itself, cuz 1. every other game runs fine, 2. i play with standart settings in fable, 3. i have the original fan from leadtek on and runs it at 500/900mhz. the default frequenzes.
 
 so what i would like to know, if someoe has the same problems as me or can even give me an explonation for that.
 
 i am using leadtek 77.77, newest winfox version and my tower is open.
 
 Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english
 
 Megido

					| Thanks for this tip, but replacing the 6600gt with an gf4 ti 4200 agp8x with the nvidia driver solved the problem? I have played about 1 hour so far, and no crach nor freeze.
 So it HAS to do something with the gfx card and/or heat and/or power.
 But i've got 550W power supply von LC-POWER. And like i said, any other program is running fine.
 
 So, maybe fable has a problem with 6600gt? Its not in the supported list either. But i dont understand why this game shouldnt be able to be running with the 6600gt...

					| well, software-wise you can only underclock the cpu. but the differences between those temperatures is not that big.
putting a new power supply with bigger fan, a new cpu fan or more fans @ all and opening the system can make the cpu and the pc cooler

					| OMG... I having the same issue..
 I have 2 6600gt in sli running 77.77 and after about 2min of game play I start to get green video glitches all over the screen... when I alt+Tab out of the game the temps of my cards around 80degrees.. This game is the only 1 it happens to.. I play WOW, CS:S BF2  no probs at all but this and Lego Star wars cause major problems...
 
 I might try different drivers.. l8
 
 Is there a way around this??

					| This is being reported all over actually.  I am working on one issue otherwise I would pop a few emails to the Fable guys to find out.  But a proven point, some games use certain features of cards and if its trully hashing every single bit of your card, the fact is that could lead to a slight heat problem.  Talked to my brother who has a good machine and he is having the same problem with is ATI.  a raise of 5 degrees on his card after about 7 minutes.

					| There's always like 30 degrees celsius in my room, so my cpu / system temp wont go lower than 35..
But when I keep my window open and turn all fans at full speed, then it drops to ~25..
 
 I hate you.
