Inside the chip the melting point is arround 120c, almost the same as with CPU's. Clean some dust or get a custom cooler, if you hit nearly 95c. Life is short, also for devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

And with regards dust my comp is spotless I have spent all morning stripping out every part and cleaning individually and the gpu I took all the covers off it cleaned out any trace of dust and it is still too warm as soon as I put it under load it lasts 20 min if that then the comp freezes and locks up and on occasion I get the blue screen. I have even cut 2 holes in the top of my case and added 2 exaust fans to make sure any excess heat in the case is removed and added 2 intake fans on the front....

I have with my last card, ran with higher GPU temps before putting on a different cooler. I suspect there may be something else going on. Did this just start happening? What are your CPU temps like? Does it lock up on a particular game or any game after about 20 min? How is your power supply? Maybe a power issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Running those high temps will shorten your cards life span. What video card do you have? My last card's stock heatsink and fan was inadequate and as such would get a little warm when put under heavy load so I put on an aftermarket cooler which made a world of difference.

When I game, I manually set the speed higher. By default, the card is supposed to adjust speed vs temps but I prefer to set it and forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that the card can run warm but seems the heat may not be optimally dissipating off the heatsink. How long have you had the card? You can hear the fan on the card running when you speed it up right? Just asking to cover the bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Check to make sure that the cooling fan on the card's heatsink is actually running when the PC is on. When it's off, spin the fan manually to make sure that it moves smoothly and freely. I turn my video card's fan up to 95-100% by default when my PC is turned on as well. Also, what kind of heat sink is on your CPU, and do you have good air intake and exhaust in your case? If any of the above are inadequate, your card will get hot no matter what you have on it for cooling. The environment around it within the case must be properly cooled as well.

You cant get away from it, other then going with an aftermarket cooler. The newer 5 series run super cool. I thought it was getting warm at 65+70c running sli 570s. With a single 570 its running at 34 and loads at 55-60 @ 900/2000, they are pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
