Hello! So recently I noticed a huge temperature change from my GTX 580, going from 35C idle to 52C. I didn't really care that much because it was the idle temperature so I decided to start up Battlefield 3 and check the full load temperature. 2minutes into a game I checked the tempeture and it shocked me... 98C with all fans at max. I went back into the game to exit but just some seconds after, the screen shut down. Probably so prevent the overheating. I checked the temperature on my other stuff and they were all running just fine, no change with the temperature at all.
So I went out today and bought a Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1850rpm to install on my side panel. It actually reduced the idle temp to 41 so I went on Battlefield 3 again. There was a bit of a change, it took longer to reach 98C, took around 5minutes. So it didn't really do much difference. So I checked my computer while it was on to see if somethings wrong and I noticed that the exhaust fan on the GTX 580 wasn't blowing out any air.
Is that the problem? Any help would be very appreciated.
