Hello Everyone ,
Usually I'm the one on the other end of the problem trying to solve it however this time I am the one asking for answer never the less we all need guidance at some point.
A couple of days ago I was overclocking my 7870 , all went well except the temperatures . Using the valley benchmarks the temps would max about 85-86 degrees Celsius so I thought it might be the GPU fans ( No crashes happened ) so I made them run at full speed to see whether that will fix the problem but nothing happened so I went online and ordered 3 more case fans to ensure that the graphics card has more air flow available and in the process I ran the card at stock settings again thinking that more case fans will solve the problem .
Today the new fans were installed and using the same settings that used to run for a couple of hours two days ago ( overclocking settings ) the system crashed after five minutes and temperatures where sky rocketing , Re-applying thermal paste is not convenient for me at the moment . I forgot to mention that the case fans were running at full speed same applies to the graphics card fans ( at the time of the crash ).
Thanks for your attention and looking forward to hearing your solutions.
N.B : The card is now running at stock settings and still reaching the mid 80's.
