I use an Asus HD 6950 1GB DirectCUII. Lately I've noticed that during full load my GPU warms up to a max of 85°C degrees. So far I've tried to replace the thermal paste, running the fans at 100%, and I even have an extra fan underneath my graphics card to make sure enough cool air get's to the GPU. I have noticed though that the themps are even higher after replacing the thermal paste. Could it be that I've put too mutch on it? My dad did it for me and he assured me that it wasn't too mutch. Opening up the case doesn't make the themps any lower though.
My case is a little small though and has not too mutch airflow, but I don't think that would cause these high themps, and if it would, opening up my case would help then.
So far I've noticed that the GPU get's this high in Guild Wars 2 and Skyrim. I run both of those at the highest settings on a 1920x1080 resolution. But Battlefield 3 doesn't get higher than 78-80°C.
I am considering buying to buy a new graphics card soon, but I think that one will get hot then as well.
Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if my english is not that great.
