Hi,
I have installed the graphics card however do i need to plug-in both white power cables ?
I have already done it but afraid to start the machine...

also should i remove the white sticker on top of card ? I hope it does not melt down :)

See the image for ref. And which software do you guy use to check temperature of GPU ?

Its looks like the GPU requires only a single 6pin line. Check for a 6pin plug direct from the PSU. If none are available, use the setup as you have now.

Do not
remove anything from the GPU !!!

Softwares to check GPU temp:
1. hwinfo64
2. hwmonitor
3. gpu-z

ok guys..can any one suggest a good air blower from eBay ?
I think one blow per month would take care of the dust.

The card has a 6 pin input, and you somehow could not manage a single source for that. The present set-up is good to go and would not be any problem.

yeah ..i left it as it is. Working great.
idle temperature is 35-40C and when in load (games) is around 55-60C. No extra fans in cabinet.

That's perfectly good, although, adding cabinet fans will help keep other components cool as well, especially the hard disk.
