okay so i use the nvidia monitor to check my video cards temp. What on the video card is GPU1?? cuz it gets to like 74 degrees but the nForc stays at 48ish at full load. Is the GPU1 the big proccessor on the video card that has the thermal grease on it were the fan is connected?? Cuz i did take the stock fan off to put another fan on and it didnt fit so i re-thermaled it so maybe thats why im getting these bad heats..maybe a bad connection with the thermal grease?? That is if thats what the GPU1 is... please let me know! thanks for reading

Nforce is a chipset. GPU is a graphics processor. Not the same thing. 74*C is fine for a GPU, 48ish is ok (could be better) for chipset.
 
funny thing is since i put in ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler today it went up from 70ish to 74 degrees now...but the nForce went down alot more... wtf lol?? i know i got the air flow blowing right in the case too i got the fan blowing to the 120mm fan in the back of the case outward so i dunno.. so whats the graphics processor look like on the video card then?? is it all those lil tiny processors combined or something cuz theres this white stuff that looks like a thing flat piece of Styrofoam that covers each of the smaller one theres like 6 or 7 of em i forget..maybe those things arnt all covered right or somethign since i put the stock fan back on..im not really sure how this all works so who knows ive had the weirdest problems happen so far while building my first pc but its fun to learn for sure..oh and sorry for the horrible typing everyone im pretty drunk right now and chilling with my cousin. Were playing alot of intense video games (TF2 + COD4+ AOE3) stuff like that haha. thanks for taking the time to read this.
 
maybe i should take that white stuff off of the fan that came with the 8800gts and replace that white styrofoamy looking squares with thermal paste?? does anyone second this idea or even know what im talking about?? i really don't know what these white squares that are on the video cards fans backside that are all placed to were the mini chips are..could those have gotten messed up when i took off the fan before??
 
If this is nTune, i recommend uninstalling it asap. It can damage your computer, and cause alot of trouble. Use other programs for monitoring your temps, such as Rivatuner for your GPU.

The Zalman 9700 is a HSF for a CPU, if your CPU is idling at around 70C, I'd get very worried. If you aren't, good luck with a soon-to-be-blown-PC.
 
its not idling around there thats full load

i think i fixed it anyways i manually made the fan on the geforce run at 99% so its alot cooler now
 
Its dangerous, alot of fans can't handle those speeds, there for it will wear out extreamly fast. I would set it to ~60%
