XFX 7970 DD hot temps

Magic17 · Aug 29, 2013

I have had this card for almost a year now and I was wondering if there was a way for me to lower my temps? (no load 45-50) (60 low load [about 20%]) (70 med load[50%])(75-80 on high load)

Turn the fans up.

But seriously, your temps are fine, you are good upto 90C.

The XFX coolers are known too be a little on the hot side, but you are luckier than most with those coolers. Your temps are fine.

Positive pressure, case fans pushing in, or run with the side off, while gaming.

you guys think that reapplying the thermal paste might help a bit?

On a GPU, no. But REALLY, stop fretting, your temps are fine.
If you reapply thermal paste you void the warranty.
