Hello everyone,

I am having a overheating issue with my 1 year old Zogis GTX-660.

It runs at 47ºC idle, but it used to run at 35ºC. I had some issues with it several months ago, then i changed my mo/bo. But then a stormy day ruined my fans, and now I can't control them anymore (ie Afterburner).

2~4 weeks ago it was running ok, with stock temps, even with the ''independent'' fans.

Kinda scared, I'm a 15 year old guy who lives in a ''third'' world country (Brazil) and can't simply order fancy fans from Ebay. I need help.

sori for bad englisch and that kind of stuff. I appreciate your (future) help.

If you want, I can type down my specs.

If a stormy day ruined your fans, it's probably damaged other components some what, how are your CPU temps? If your warranty is up and you are comfortable doing so, I'd recommend reapplying the thermal paste on the GPU, but if the fans aren't working as they should, they really need replacing. Do you mean your case fans or the actual GPU fans themselves? You mentioned your idle temps but how are your load temps?
