Video Card overheating

[martinhersey]

I installed a new Video Card in the machine I'm building. It's a HIS Radeon HD6750 PCI Express 2.1x16. It's already heating up, before I've installed the O/S. Why? I don't intend to use it for gaming.

how hot is it? It may be within normal range. However I find that most of the time, at least with the HD4870 and GTX 480 you have to manually set the fan or it does not move. This is probably what is going on.

Its normal range is 100C. Where do you find that? Is it somewhere in the Setup? The fan is working. How do you set it? [/U]E=wolfeking;1803216]how hot is it? It may be within normal range.

I use MSI afterburner to set the fan because it is easier. But there should be an option in the driver for it.
