Noobie 6800 GT needs help from overheating

Hey everyone,

Currently I have the GeForce 6800 GT, 1.5 GB of Ram, and a AMD 3200+ processor.

Ive been trying to run oblivion the way it should be ran, maxed out... but currently whenever I install my omega driver my card overheats and I get a warning providing me with this information.

I cant seem to figure this out.

Im using the newest version.

Is there a way I can install this driver and max out without overheating whatsoever?

I removed my sound card which was right below my 6800 and installed it in the lowest slot, so there so room to work with now.

Have you tried different drivers? If I remember right, the 66.93 set (Omega's latest) had some temperature issues with the GeForce 6 series. Try a different driver and see if that helps. the 84.25 is the "Oblivion driver", so I'd say try that first.
