I recently purchased an Asus DK gts 250 gpu and the temps are insane. It idles at 60C. I ran a FurMark gpu stress test and after 174 seconds it got up to 99C and showed no signs of stabilizing. I stopped the test at that point so I don't know how high it would top at..not sure it would top :\
I'm wondering if it's even worth trying to reseat the cooler or if it needs to go straight to Asus.
FurMark score was 3463 @ 1280x1024 on XP Pro.
3DMark06 score was 13268. (SM 2.0 6218, 3.0 6501, CPU 2738)
Are scores at least ok? If it's performing ok I guess I'll give the heatsink a go. Maybe it wasn't installed properly. I've never seen temps act like that. Yes, the fan is spinning. Yes, it sounds fine.
