No idea why its overheating this much.

Ive never experienced any Blue Screens or shutdowns..

Any ideas? The card is old, but bought new

Is it overclocked?, if no, check if the fan of the GPU is working properly, there might be dust in it, i don't believe the age of the GPU causes that overheat.

if i remember well enough it would shutdown before 95, i think the limit was around 70-80 on those. what did you read the temperature with?

 

[rtyuii]

The fan is working, and the GPU is new, just old model.

Ive been using it for 1 week i dont think there can be any dust that makes these kind of temperatures, but i can check it later

Also not overclocked at all.

MSI afterburner, it may be faulty sensor?

It's not overheating, but it's at the high end of the temperature range:

Max temp for that card is 98C. Some cards just run hotter. If it's running fine, you should be OK.

I had two 580s that always ran close to the max temp and never had a problem with them.

Maximum GPU Temp: 98C
When you get a chance clean the card, if temps are still above 90C then I would put in a 120mm fan (or any size you can fit) into the case to blow cold air onto it.

It may be my H110 GT that fucks things up, my case was too small to fit it so i had to fit it in front as an intake, two 140mm fans upfront and radiator behind them, it may be blowing hot air in instead of cold, but my GPU temps never get higher than 40C

Got two exhaust fans on the top

Ambient temp of the room might also adversely affect the card temp. 95c is very high and is sire to shorten the card's lifespan. Consider adding more fans or a roomier case. Also turn the AC on if it's hot in your hauz.

Do you have MSI Afterburner or EVGA PrecisionX running?
Maybe it automatically set some wrong fan settings.

 

[rtyuii]

Dont think the settings are wrong, and i can hear my gpu fan going pretty loud while playing BF4, Ambient temps in my room is pretty cold, i have my door open

 

[rtyuii]

I got H110i gt watercooler for cpu installed in front as intake, no other fan intakes.

Could this make my Gpu overheat as the there is huge radiator behind my intake fans.

Two intakes fans/radiator/two exhaust fans up top in the case.

Thanks for all the answers guys.
