So, I have =( a gtx 465 that runs up to 80 celsius idle, sometimes hotter while watching videos online. One fan works when it feels like and the other refuses. I purchased it about 3 years ago.. I kept it rid of dust for the most part but earlier today after I got a whiff of hot metal.. I took a look at gpu-z and discovered it was running at 107 degrees celsius.. this put to rest the worry I had about it running hot while playing sleeping dogs or max payne 3. So of course I powered off the pc and figured it may be time to get a new graphics card but before I do..
Are there any suggestions for saving a card in this condition or should I just buy another one? I'm on a $200+ budget and was considering an msi 7850 for my phenom ii x4 945 + 4gigs of memory, but that's IF I can't save the 465.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
