sxcblood 36 Posted August 4, 2012 my game keeps crashing the second my gpu go's around 110-120c whilst speedfan is running at 100%anyone that can recomend another program that will boost the fan speeds past the limit set by speedfan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt.Asshat 607 Posted August 4, 2012 holy fuck, sounds like a ventilation issue not fan issue! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtshv 362 Posted August 4, 2012 100-120c? That can seriously damage both your card and motherboard.You can't boost a fan past 100%, but it would seem that yours is stuck, probably due to dust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sxcblood 36 Posted August 4, 2012 its quite an anoying matter since the heat warms up the entire room, at startup my gpu is only abouth 40c ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
run4way 45 Posted August 4, 2012 It's not fan speed problem. Just clean ventillation holes from dust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted August 4, 2012 It warms up your whole room? Jesus Christ! Dry giving it a good dusting and make sure air can get to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DooMike 0 Posted August 4, 2012 Laymans eyes see: GPU1: 49C GPU2:96C... Your GPU sli-setup is definitely not sharing the load evenly for some reason. I´d advice you to seek advice in a tech-forum asap, before you fry that one card!Don´t know too much about speedfan, but according to the picture, the GPU fans aren´t running...Is your CPU singlecore? If dual, then they too don´t share load even close to equally.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krtshv 362 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Well, sometimes dust can get UNDER the fan and against the electronics themselves. If you can, unplug it, unscrew the fans (they're attached to a lid on your card which you can unscrew) and make sure there is no dust underneath.~~~~ REMEMBER: Touch your exposed metallic (of the casing itself) parts inside your computer casing before touching anything else. This is to make sure you unload any static electricity in you that might harm the internal parts ~~~~~When done, don't close the computer casing, leave it open and allow the hot air to flow out.Try running it then and check the temps. Even if your cards aren't sharing the load properly as stated above, it should not get that hot. I have an HD5830 and even when overclocked it doesn't hit 80c.Also. Don't use SpeedFan to check the fanspeed.You have an ATI card. Go to the Catalyst Control Center (right click on the Deskstop), go to Performance and choose AMD OverDrive. The fan speed will be listed at the top, under "Fan Speed". You may also choose "Enable Manual Fan Control" and set it to 100% to make sure.

BlazeN'Chronic 51 Posted August 7, 2012 wow them temps are hott bro... im surprised you havent burnt out your GPU yet... i run on full 1080p with 100-120fps and my gpu never goes above 42 Celsius... id reccomend at the very least a separate fan to cool your SLI setup as the cards being close together is going to limit air circulation to begin with... another very effective but costly setup is getting a corsair h80 hydro cooling and mounting it to the GPU chipset (unit is built as a CPU cooler but will work with a few mods to the GPU shroud ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
