Gpu Fan issues.....

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

Hey

How y'all?

my problem:

GPU Fan starts spinning and works properly upto 15mins of skyrim.(works well on light usage).

after this my screen goes green totally ! could still hear the music!

i checked the GPU fan... ufff!

it wasn't spinning so i did a restart and checked the temps via MSI after burner they were @ 100-110C

the fan control doesn't seem to work any suggestions Mates???

i cleaned the GPU and the slot with compressed air so that wont be the problem...... I Guess!

My Specs:

XFX GTX260

Corsair cx430

4GB of Corsair RAM

1TB HDD

core2duo

what gpu do you own? I think I know what's causing the problem but I need to know your gpu

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

Its a gtx260 nvidia buddy .... please see the above specs

shazzy182 :

It could possibly be your psu? It's a very low quality one,

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

I don think so coz it was running fine till roday morning and its a corsair I think dis is well known for quality...

legend001523 · Aug 8, 2014

shazzy182 :

Quite the opposite if I remember correctly, the cx series are quite bad, so are the builder series, but the higher tier ones from corsair are good, how long have you had the psu for?

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

About 4 months actually..... tried it with a r9 270x too works like a charm... so psu seems to be working buddy correct me if am wrong?

shazzy182 :

You may have worked the card too hard and forced it into shutdown? You say it was at 100-110, but clearly that can't be right, but still, it would have been very hot, is it okay now?

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

Yup... cards fine... I actually played just for half an hour played it for hours together before no issues back then.. it went to 100 when the fan stopped man!!!!... but fan works after restarting....

shazzy182 :

yeah, if teh fans don't work, the temps will rise very quickly :') It may just be a one off, play some more games and if it happens again, maybe it's the card's fault

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

Games work fine but the fans stop... played for hours in a stretch till yesterday... this issue started today... so ill get back after examining the situation more....

legend001523 · Aug 8, 2014

shazzy182 :

Yeah, it may be your gpu problem, it's time for a upgrade anyway surely?

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

Yup planning for a r9 270x.. ill be getting dis month but dont want the 260 to just die like that!!!! Could be a fan issue??? R the gpu??

legend001523 · Aug 8, 2014

shazzy182 :

gpu most likely I'd say, since it controls the fan

shazzy182 · Aug 8, 2014

legend001523 :

awww

So after messing around wid the fan speed settings setting the fan at 50% seems to stabilize the situation.... testing will edit back soon...

ahhh it may not be the gpu after all then, 50% speed should be okay at cooling

Hope so ... may i could install liquid cooling

but its not worth it will do that to the 270x if possible....

So its the just the fan then????

If you get a good aftermarket r9 270, no watercooling is required, like the sapphire r9 270x or xfx or asus and yes, probably just the fan

update:

so after a day of testing found out the fan was the issue any suggestions for cooling replacement maybe????
