Hey everyone!
When I'm playing games that require a lot of processing power, my graphic cards seems to be overheating. I currently have a HD radeon 5850 and a i5 2.7 ghz cpu. I use MSI afterburner to make sure my graphic card's fans rotate at 100% when my graphic card is hotter than ~65 degrees. Even with these measures the temperature of my graphic card raises to about 91 degrees when playing the latest games. The fan noise is really starting to get annoying.
I recently cleaned ALL the dust from inside my computer. I also use a scythen mugen 3 cpu cooler (not sure if it matters for gpu though). My computer is located on the underside of my desk. The computer has plenty of space behind it but only 5cm space between topside computer and underside desk, is this a possible cause for cpu overheating? My computer had a BSOD last week when playing Tomb Raider for too long.
So does anyone have any tips on how I can deal with this? Does anyone have a solution? Will replacing the thermal compound/gel/paste possibly fix it? I have no clue what to do. A 5850 hotter than 85 degrees isn't normal right? I'm gonna update my drivers right now to see if that fixes the problem, but I think I already updated the drivers awhile ago and it didn't fix it afaik.
Greetings and lots of thanks,
