GPU overheat problem!

SD_2007 · Jan 28, 2014

I am facing GPU overheat problem. In idle it hits 110 degree C & within 2-3 min display is going off. I have MSI 5770 which is just over 3 years old. Now I have to run my PC without GPU. Any solution?

Should I go for a good thermal paste?

No, just make sure the fan and intakes on the heatsink are dust free.

Sounds like the heatsink is not even contacting the GPU. Youl should disassemble the card completely, repaste and make sure it has good thermal contact.

A thermal paste reapply will help. It shouldn't matter how dusty the fans get, a gpu at idle shouldn't hit those temps. you don't need to buy high end stuff, just put on a new layer of whatever you got or buy a new tube for $5-8.

Plz suggest some good but cheap thermal paste.. I am thinking about z9/z5/arctic 5 or can I go for any coolermaster paste which can much cheaper.

Get the coolermaster stuff, it'd probably make like 5c difference at most.

How is it??

Good enough, better than nothing.

Today I apply the thermal paste, coolermaster one. But the idle temp is still 80 degree C & within an hour it rise upto 110, then again the display goes off. What could be the reason??
I clean the heatsink, fan & other stuff also.

Does the fan spin normally?

If your cooler runs with heat pipes then there could be an issue with them where they aren't able to circulate properly, card might be shot.

Yes it is...

woltej1 · Jan 31, 2014

Do you at least have a couple fans in your case?

SD_2007 · Feb 1, 2014

Yes I have 4 120mm fans & my cabinet is NZXT M59.

SD_2007 :

Are you running MSI afterburner or a customer fan profile for your card?

Did you check the card heatsink for dust?
