GPU is at 102 degrees for some reason

[corey62]

Happens when I play a game for as little as a few minutes, the fan is at it's normal stock speed of 60%, and it's a prebuilt gateway. I overclocked a bit before and had some drivers crash so I bought them down to stock speeds, and the overheating started happening a few days after I lowered the clocks. I'm not sure what is wrong so maybe somebody here can help me.

It's factory overclocked, It's still on warranty so I'll have to bring it in for a free replacement. 100% is not the fan speed it came with so I don't want to make a bunch of noise over something that can be fixed under warranty.

USE YOUR WARRANTY

I had a factory OC'ed 9600 GT and i played crysis at max settings(not well i may add) and it NEVER got above 56 C at 65 % fan speed

Do yourself and your computer a favor and return and get a new one

What if they can tell I had overclocked it before somehow? Should I overheat it before I bring it there? 😛

I'm starting to think that it's a false reading, how would this happen out of nowhere and why would it not shut down at 102 degrees?

102C is toasty for a GPU but not shut down temp, they can reach 120c

but its very unhealthy for the GPU itself

get a new card

Did you add this card to the Gateway? If so, then most likely the problem is crappy case airflow.

never stated it was healthy, just stated why it did not shut down...learn to read

I dont appreciate your sarcasm

i was trying to help the OP out and u didnt state whether it was ok that the temps were that high or not

That was unecessary

Did u finally figur it out OP?

Lately theirs been many rude people in these forums.

If you want to get down and dirty try to open the card and see if there's any build up.

To much work just rma the card. =]

1. I do appreciate my sarcasm.
2. I said it was a toasty temperature, do you think that comment means it a tad bit high? a tad bit low? or just peachy?
3. After you learn to read, learn to spell.

Could have said it better

Stop being anal about spelling over the internet
