Hey everyone, I need some help, perhaps this has already been covered but I couldn't find the answer to my questions anywhere else so here I am asking for help.
Here is my system :
Motherboard : GA-990FXA-UD3
PSU : Corsair TX750W Bronze
CPU : AMD Phenom II x6 1090t
GPU1 : XFX Radeon HD6870
GPU2 : XFX Radeon HD6870
RAM : 4x 4G DDR3 RAM in Dual Channel
Here is what happens : My GPUs are overheating. When I open a game (any game no matter how bad the graphics), sometimes I will be able to play for hours before the temps start to skyrocket to over 103 celcius degrees. Sometimes I'll open the game and even in the menus, the temperature will start to go very high within 2 or 3 minutes preventing me from playing. At idle temp, my cards run at around 46 to 48 degrees. This problem started out of nowhere, my system was all working fine before (well I think so).
Here is what I have tried :
1. Tried installing latest drivers.
2. Tried formatting my PC and install latest drivers.
3. Tried removing and cleaning both cards removing ALL the dust off the fans and the heat sink.
4. Tried GPU1 in slot one alone with NO crossfire (crossfire bridge removed ofc)
5. Tried GPU2 in slot one alone with NO crossfire (crossfire brdige removed ofc)
6. Tried GPU2 in slot two alone with NO crossfire (crossfire bridge removed ofc)
7. Tried running Furmark and same thing happened.
I am currently monitoring my temperature with MSI Afterburner and CPUID hardware monitor.
Even when tried seperately, and in different slots, the cards act the SAME exact way. The temperature starts to get VERY high VERY quickly at a random time which makes me think that the problem is NOT with the GPUs (it would surprise me that BOTH GPUs are bad). Therefore, I came here for help as I don't know what to check for next. I suspected maybe it was the PSU but I really don't know what to do to indentify if that is the problem.
Could anyone please help ?
