boiling water with my gpu

Re: boiling water with my gpu

You should post this in Hardware.

Is the fan running well? Case ventilated well? Take off the side of the case and try it and see what that gets you. Really, sounds like something is wrong. Maybe pull the heatsink, clean it and reseat it with new thermal compound.

Re: boiling water with my gpu

i pulled the heatsink off, the thermal paste was dry and wasnt bonded at all much, i applied some new stuff liberally... and i hit the fins and fan with some canned air again.. some dust flew from the tube-shaped fins... mighta been plugged wherever the temp probe was and the 105 cutoff triggered by the probe being hotter than the card.. the card is idle @ 40 now.. 20 less than the norm idle.. gonna boot up the game now.. case is well ventilated.. 1x120mm front intake.. 2x 120mm exhaust rear/top and 1 120mm blowing directly on the gfx card
