Blizzard PPC advice please

[Radfoo]

When I first obtained a BlizzardPPC/040 I found that my system would run for around an hour perfectly before intermmitently crashing. I found that the 040 was getting worryingly hot (it's the 25mhz version like yours) so I simp;y installed a cheap fan which blows air onto the entire card - this is currently cable-tie fitted to my highest 5.25" bay and aims directly at the card.

Think i'll have to try that, thanks :-)

Regarding the noisey PPC fan, it's probably bunged up with muck - I take mine out and clean it once a year. Aside from that it should be fine, it's a bit of a hassle to upgrade it, especially since the standard fan will cool it down just fine as long as it's kept clean.

Tried cleaning it, but it still make a racket most of the time. Discovered yesterday that when its making the horrible noise its not actualy blowing much air :-o  . So I need a new PPC fan!

Thanks for everyones advice, I think I have the heat situation under control.

Still having a few software problems though. Wipeout locks after a couple of minutes and I just get a grey screen when I  try Payback :-( .

Is there a site on the net with a Blizzard FAQ or something? In particular I wonder what setpatch I should use? I have also installed a BVision fix thingy that came with Warp3D 5.1, do I really need this?

Thanks :-)
