M15x GPU Thread: General Discussion on Upgrades, GPU Troubleshooting & Repairs

it says about 8 and 30%when i just have hwinfo opened while browsing it gets to about in the 20's and the temps are in the 60's. when im watching videos in the browser, after about 3 seconds it shuts down because my temps spike up to more than 100 degrees!

[Fancysauce]

haha yeah i was just about to change it.

These fan numbers. It sounds like one or more of your fans might not be working, or working properly.

[Fancysauce]

I read the part where it showed the fan rpm somewhere below the sharer,memio, and dispio. Not from where ur pointing at. Also its a bit too late for me to check because I already switched my 5850 back in until I can get some new pads for the 6970. I just played some battlefield 3 on my 5850 with 700/1050 and the max temp was 80 so I don't think it would be the fan anyways right?

[The Revelator]

Nope. Sounds like the fans are fine.

[Fancysauce]

How do u keep ur gpu cool Rev? Using stock pads and what thermal paste?

[The Revelator]

I use MX-4 paste. Depending on the use and conditions, I sometimes also use HWINFO64 to implement a more aggressive fan scheme.

Just wondering if i need to do this also.

My temps have hit 91c while gaming clocked at 750/1050 is this about right?

[Mexic00ls]

Thats about 12 degrees higher then what i get @ 800/1100/1.05v, i use the pea size method and last time i pasted was 2 months ago, but i clean my vents about every week and a half, or so....

[Coops025]

I have recently cleaned out my vents, how are you downvolting the GPU?
