Hey so I'm having a huge issue with my GTX 275 where whenever it reaches something around 70c, the GPU fan will shut off. This then causes the temperatures to rise about 1 degree a second until the GPU stops working all together.

Idle my GPU sits around 55c which I already think is high. The rig is my sig rig and I think that at the least, my case is a contributing factor to my problem. I have terrible air flow and right now I took the door off and placed a desk fan blowing directly into the case.

What I don't understand is why the GPU fan is shutting off at 70c every time. It works perfectly until I crank up a graphic intensive game (Dragon Age is turning it into a space heater).

Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks!

is it on manual control?.....if not then download eVGA Precision Tune and crank it up manually.....see if that helps

Set fan profiles with Riva Tuner and see if that helps.

My GTX 275 (sig rig) also runs 55c (have seen 58c) during Crysis but I do not experience fan shut down. I post just to let you know someone else sees this temp not to say I like it.

I have a lot of air moving in my case and the down side is as everyone probably knows is a lot of noise.

I am currently on a Q6600 build and I want to find a GPU that performs comparably to the 275 but doesn't get so hot and require so much air moving around it. I think people are going to say, "you are going to have to get a waterblock for your GPU if thats what you want".

I would like to find a shorter overall lenght card (10.5' gives problems the way I like to set stuff up in a 1200).

So thats it,performance,low heat,shorter, I really want it all don't I?

I use EVGA Precision and have to keep it at 100% or this process happens a lot faster.

I took the casing off the graphics card and applied some new paste but the problem persists. Around 70c the fan shuts off.

What drivers are you using?

I would strongly suggest setting either a static fan profile or a dynamic one run throught the scheduler in Riva (or you could set it using EVGA Precision, but that's either non-dynamic or uncontrollable auto). Hopefully this is a software issue, not a logistical one, and setting them manually should circumvent the issue entirely.
