GTX 285 new paste overheating?!?!

The heatsink isn't getting good contact to the GPU.

how should i solve this then?

anyone?

MAybe you overdid it? Can you try to remove a little bit of the paste? and reapply the heatsink?

One more thing: WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU CHANGE THE PaSTE IF YOUR IDLE WAS 40°C???!?!?!???!?!?!?!?!?! And 50-60 at load???!??!?!

r u saying too much paste is bad for the gpu?
i put about 6 tiny rice grain drops on the whole gpu and spread it around

edit:i was bored,so yea lol

Get some Shin-Etsu or IC Diamond paste and use that instead. The Freeze may be too thin a consistency to work well on your particular GPU due to the gaps being larger than what one normally finds in a cpu/hsf combination. For this reason, generally it's better to use a little too much vs. too little on a gpu provided that either a) none of it gets onto other components (difficult to discern) or you use a *completely* non-conductive and non-capacitive compound.

If anything, you probably need more paste, and possibly a thicker paste as brettjv mentions.

Stock NVIDIA coolers don't have very flat bases, and the IHS on most G80/GT200 GPUs aren't much better.
