There was mention about cooked video cards and monitoring programs and such recently (not sure which group, so I am crossposting), so I thought I'd chime in with an observation: The one and only game that manages to spin up the fans on my nvidia gtx 570 is Civilization V. I can play Amalur or Skyrim for hours without hearing fan noise, same goes for Fallen Enchantress but Civ V gets them cranking. I cannot understand why or how that should be so. We're talking about a TBS game here ... Does anybody else have the same phenomenon? -P.
