Problems with my PC's cooling

[DeathAngell]

I have been having issues with the cooling in my computer for a while. The GPU hits around 60 idle and is hot to the touch inside my case. CPU seems to be alright but even the inside of my case seems hot. I have 2 intakes on the front, 2 exhausts on the top and 1 on the back.

How do I fix this??

well, if its that big of an issue, i would put some extra fans in your case, if you can

when was the last time you blew out all your fans ?

Couple days ago? They are like new now.

 

[heavyartillary9]

did you change anything when it started getting that hot ?

 

[DeathAngell]

Nope..

 

[heavyartillary9]

hmmm, maybe you need to reapply thermal paste, that or you might have a damaged cpu

My problem is GPU temps, not CPU.

 

[heavyartillary9]

oh, do you have a reference card, or not ?

 

[DeathAngell]

oh, do you have a reference card, or not ?

MSI GTX 970

does it have 2 fans on it ?, or is it the one with a big cover

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814127832 this one. Not sure why the price shot way up holy shit. It was $350 when I bought mine.

Supply and demand. I just saw a cryorig H7 on pcpartpicker.com for $99.

Does your 970 have a software set eco switch which turns off the fans till it hits 65°?

Are both fans spinning or just 1?

What directions are the case fans blowing?

74°F in my room and my 970 rarely hits 65° to turn on the fans, even gaming. Idle is 35°C. Is there any possibility of software running like bitcoin mining etc in the background?

The 970 has the Twinfrozr 5 to make it not spin at all until 60 I think it is. I have a custom fan curve set in MSI Afterburner to make the fans spin all the time but I want it to be good without having to do that. 2 intake on front, 2 exhaust on top and 1 exhaust on the back.

I dont do any of that kind of stuff.

Ok, I'm stumped. The Gaming 4G twin frozr has the biggest heatpipes that come on a 970, unless that thing is super over volted/oc'd it should easily be able to passively cool itself to less than 60°C at idle. My Asus has smaller heatpipes and is max user oc'd and can sit at 35°C all day long at idle. No fans spinning at all. Unless the psu is overheating and facing upwards allowing the heat to vent inside, I can't figure out where the heat would be coming from, a 970 at idle doesn't do anything hard enough to make it that hot.

Completely stock voltage/clock speed.

And the fins, not just the fans, are clean? Run every virus and malware you got? Good drivers? I'm grasping at straws here. No way it should need a repaste, not that old and paste doesn't suddenly go bad. Was it bought new? Or used?

Brand new.

I know I have viruses. Ive tried every last possible thing to get rid of them. They wont go away. Tried Malwarebytes, AdwCleaner, AVG, Norton, AdAware, Spybot Search & Destroy. Super AntiSpyware.

Well virus are different from Trojans.

If auto software won't remove the virus, you can try and Google help there. I had a similar experience with virus once, ended up chasing it down in the registry, with all of its components. Took me hours, but I wasn't about to do a full format/reinstall to get rid of it except as last resort. Also went through all my programs in 'my computer' and (after writing the name down) wiped anything I wasn't sure about as should belong there (after Google the names too.)

Random popups in new tabs and windows (in chrome). Random websites ive never been to popping up for the autocomplete thing when I start typing a site name. Nothing will get rid of it
