I checked the docs of the nvidia drivers on the systems which |
| 32 |
mentioned the nvidia 560 ti but msi isnt mentioned. Since drivers |
| 33 |
access the GPU and not the cooling system (and my old card was also |
| 34 |
made by msi and worked ok) I think this part should be ok. |
| 35 |
But since I cannot remember other side effects, which I dont know, |
| 36 |
I thought its better to ask other gurus... ;) |
