Temperature too high

[dannywarnes]

hi, due to my computer occasionally cutting out i downloaded speedfan and the readings it's giving aren't good, i replaced the fan on my graphics card because it broke but that hasn't made any difference.

 

this is what speedfan says:

 

gpu: 74c

system: 54c

cpu: 10c

aux: -1c

hd0: 39c

core 0: 31c

core 1: 31c

core: 75c

ambient: 0c

 

 

is there a program i can use to copy my complete system info from to post here?

 

if not i'll just write what spec i know.

Danny that is an older card I would suspect it would run a little warmer.

[dannywarnes]

it still shouldn't run over 50 though surely and it's at about 90 most of the time.

[Jelly Bean]

Hey Danny,it can run that high.

 

There are a few reasons why it would.

 

Depending on what higher graphical processes you are running.

 

The card is old and may of sustained damage in the past.

 

It is now overheating which is causing possibly more damage.

 

No it should not run that high but it is running higher temps.

 

Have you at least updated GPU driver?

[dannywarnes]

yeah i updated the drivers. do you think it's just a matter of getting a new gpu and maybe a new cpu fan.

 

would the fact that i've only got 1gb ram effect the temperature?

[Jelly Bean]

Your CPU appears fine.

 

It could be a simple case of new GPU but again if you have further heating issues with a new card you could buy a new GPU fan.
