Gtx 680 aftermarket cooler

Nironakamedus · Aug 19, 2013

Hello my point of view gtx 680 exo is hitting 67c-87c and even 90c. I only have 2 fans in my case (cm elite 430) so ive been looking to buy more or possibly get a
Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme III. what would you guys do?

Thanks

Live with it, so long as it isn't going over 90C its fine. But, if its making alot of noise even at 90C it could be a dud, might want to replace it. Even the crappy stock cooler should be able to keep a 680 cooler than that.

sounds like a dust issue

I bought a can of air and dusted the card off, dosent seem to help.

remove the old thermal paste and reapply it

Nironakamedus · Aug 19, 2013

would that help alot? the card is only 1 year old.

i am not sure but sometimes it is the solution and thermal pastes are cheap

cool , can you link a good guide for this? ( a bit of a newbie when it comes to something like this) and this would void my warranty right?

I wouldn't do that just yet as you don't know if or not it voids your warranty, best to contact the manufacturer and see if you can organise a replacement rather than try to fix it yourself which may or may not work.

sorry i couldnt find any guide for your card but there is for other models/gpus and for the warranty i don't know
edit : i read somewhere that removing the cooler doesn't void the warranty

Btw forgot to add this , i have also set a custom fan profile , and i even tried setting it to 90 fan speed and it still hit these temps in some cases.
the problem is that they only say its overheating at 98 wich is kinda bullshit.
