Well everyone, feeling more and more that its not just a cooling issue.
I "hot wired" the fan to a power supply plug and while it works ok its not on high speed either.
That said, even with more air running through the case am guessing that I have a bad video card. Evidently one card is getting hot. The temp readout for the cards (I have three video cards in the MB for three flat screen monitors) started at about 98c and is now up to 136c, which is pretty hot.
CPU useage is very low, running under 5% most of the time with spikes up to 50% or below. Do not believe that this is being caused by a hot CPU. Temps on the CPU and MB are ok, hovering under 50c but steady.
The graphics readout is now up to 140c and no signs of slowing so now its time to figure out which card is dying... time for the digital IR therometer!
Thx,
Joe A
