• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

New Nvidia Drivers

Uninstalled just in case

I had installed the latest drivers without any seeming consequence and to me the seemed slightly better in some games. However I had no real reason to monitor GPU temps until this thread.
I have uninstalled and reverted back to the privous drivers..waiting for an update from Nvidia
 
I rolled back to the 196.21 drivers as a precaution. I was having no problems with the 196.75 drivers as far as display, but I did notice a rise in the HDD and SYS temps, from a normal or 32 degrees C to 36 degrees. Once rolled back, hey, back at 32 degrees. Something was amiss.
