2 overcloked edition gtx 580's gigabyte reaching 90/97 degrees

[ravndal15]

Hi guys . I have two gtx 580's overclocked edtions and they are reaching temps of 90/97 degrees celcius while playing latest games .

I was just wondering what i could do to lower these temps . I have taken the side case off and thats helped somewhat.

What are ways I can cool the cards down ? This includes purchasing whatever hardware i may need in order to lower the temps ? Can anyone suggest anything ? Or ideas ? Thanks

Have you tried cleaning the heatsink dust? If the temp still that hot after cleaning you might need to apply new thermal paste. Anyway what is your current temp with open side panel?

Renz has it, clean the dust out, if that doesn't make a dif, re-apply thermal paste. I had this problem with an older 580 which started overheating. it was the thermal paste, still though, cleaning out the fan dust is a given when its out of the case
