my GT 220 running too hot

chaosmassive · Dec 26, 2013

i have a ASUS GT220 DDR3, which running very hot at idle 50C, when i playing crysis 2 in 10 minutes its jump to 103C

i have do cleaning the heatsink, clean residual thermai paste and apply new one.

but still, when Crysis 2 running for 10 mins its hit 104 C....

any advice guys?

It just isn't supposed to be playing games of this kind, way to advanced. 104c is waaaaaaaayyyy to hot, Just stop playing games like crysis on it. Very intense for a $30 card.

yea, buts i get 40 fps with medium settings,
lets not talk crysis, even i played left4dead, and play some casual games
the tempt almost reach 90 c

Then it's probably the application of thermal paste. You may be smothering the GPU not allowing the heatsink to give proper cooling to the GPU. Or you may have not put enough on.

"smothering the GPU not allowing the heatsink to give proper cooling to the GPU"
mind to elaborate more?
i dont get it

chaosmassive :

So in the original question you said that you reapplied thermal paste. In this process you may have put to much on the processor on the graphics card, if you did, this will cause bad heat conduction. The purpose of thermal compound is to create a thermal barrier between the processor and the heatsink, it is better with heat conduction so it takes the heat away from the processor, if you have to much, it will act more as a barrier, not allowing the heat to dissipate properly.

ok i will try it once i get home.

thx

Check back in when you find out.

already to re apply the thermal, but no results
its still reach 100C

You may want to see if you can buy another heatisnk for it, if you have a closed loop water cooler laying around you could get the kraken G10, I would just suggest getting a new graphics card though, it's not really worth spending anymore money on this card.

so the problem here is on heatsink?
right now i'am considering 7750 or R7 250

I do believe so.
