Been getting problems with my 4870x2 as of late. Im not sure when it started happening, It either started happening, when i upgraded to an i7 processor, or when my previous PSU (Corsair 750) blew up. (now using antec cp-850)
On Desktop using manual fan control, at 45% my 4870x2 is at , 54deg which is normal as far as i tell. but if i ever launch a 3d game, the primary gpu gets very hot, and within a 60seconds it will be at 95deg, Which triggers the card to automaticly adjust my fan speed to 100%, And is very very loud. even with all my case fans on high, it doesent seem to change it, (with them and 4870x2 its like being in Serveroom) I tried underclocking it to 505mhz, but didnt seem to make much differnce to the tempreture.
Im wondering if its a software or hardware causing the problem i remember some friends saying a driver problem was causing it, and should i use my warranty?
If you know any good applications i can use to show my test gpu etc tell me and il post the screenshots.
System Specs:
Operating System : windows 7 r1100
Graphics driver : 9.6 Catalyst
Motherboard : gigabyte GA-3X58-UD34 (rev 1.0)
Case Antec 1200
