im doing like nothing(browsing on ocn) and evga precision tuner clocks temps @ 75C

How's the ambient temps of your room and the airflow in your case (Post pic of case interior).

Anth0789 · 02-07-09

It depends on your case airflow that might affect your GPU temps. Open your side panel and see if that helps cool it off.

Honestly, idling at 75 degrees is far above "bad case airflow or ambient temps".

Check to see if the fan is even working first of all.
If you can, re-seat the cooler with AS5, MX-2, whatever.

My card, OC'd to 824/2001 hits 64C Folding. So something is wrong with his card I think.

reseated with new as5 and it dropped my temps to 50 idle(fan@auto). before reseating i saw a 3mm gap between the core and heatsink. i just had this pc for a month and i dont actually game alot so i didnt notice so far. dam i never gonna buy a card at that company again, they said they reseated heatsink for putting as5 on it. they should reseat it properly next time. thx for your help with fan maxed i get 45 idle 80 load 73 folding

Much better, glad I could help.

Stills seems a bit high though, did you take the opportunity to blow all the dust out of the heat sink?

punceh · 02-09-09

nope but i got a terrible airflow anyway so im kinda satisfied. i have like a no-brand psu without sleeving and all the cables are very short so they just fit so i cant manage my cables alot. im not actualy going to buy a new psu for the sleeving ect. they do have got some OCZ's nearby but i never changed psu's and im kinda frighnet that i forget anything.

Heh, changing the PSU is very easy. The only issue is the cable management, but that just takes time, zipties, and some cable holders. (Alternatively, tape).

If you're worried that you'll forget to plug something in,
1: Make a checklist.
2: Don't worry. I once turned on my system and had forgotten to plug the plugs into my 8800GTX. It gave me a evil scream, but no harm came to the computer...just my ear drums :P

The checklist is easy too:
20/24 Pin?
4/8 Pin CPU power?
Optical drives?
Hard Drives?
Floppy?
Video Card?

There ya go, there's yer check list

However, it is advisable to buy online to get a Better PSU for less $$.
Unless you live in like, Cambodia, and no one delivers to your country of course!

Unfortunately, I have no idea about european computer places. I know they ave to be out there, but they don't seem to be as prominent as NCIX and Newegg are here in North America.

Good Luck man!
