Windows 10: Old Graphics card too hot?

I have an old 512Mb Nvidia Geforce 8600GT running at 50 degrees C, pages are slow to load on internet with 60-85Mb broadband speed, is 50 C too hot? Your thoughts as always most appreciated.

:)

 

Problem fix Driver GeForce Go 6150 into Windows 10

Your graphics card was entry-level back in 2004. The computer is simply too old to run Windows 10..

 

windows 10 will not let me play my old games

this windows 10 is not as good as windows 7 i have had too replace my graphics card to make it work now will not allow me too play my old games any idea's?

 

50 C doesn't strike me as scary hot, or even extremely hot. GPUs tend to run warm anyway, and I'd rate 50 as warm rather than hot. That said, my GeForce 750Ti is currently running at 26 C, which is about half of your recorded temp. Have you tried taking the side panel off your case and turning a box fan on the computer's innards while it's running? This should cool things substantially, and you'll quickly be able to note if cooling things down improves performance.

50°C is no problem, perfectly normal. You should only worry if it reaches 90°C.
Assuming your specs are listed correctly, at least 8 GB of RAM would help in the general running of Applications.

I would check for Malware, clear Web Browser caches, and stuff running in the background, scan HDD drive etc which are standard maintenance tasks.

 

Also don't forget to defrag your hard drive every at least a month.

 

Huh, why ? What's the connection with those problems with disk fragmentation ?

 

The state of your hard drive has no baring on graphics cards at all. My 1070 is currently running at 54c and thats the way its designed to run.

@peter4076 if you'd like a cheap upgrade for your graphics card, I have a spare 560 I can sell you cheap.

 

I remember having same card, silent version, it was getting red hot in games so I stuck a 60mm fan on it to cool it down.
