Hello , i have exactly this graphics card : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-6950-1gb-benchmark,3041-6.html
Problem is it goes over 100C in any kind of game and it is ideling at 42C. even at 100% fan speed.
I can't ever run furmark more than 2 minutes.
The card is cleaned , the fans are working correctly , the thermal past is new , up to date drivers , bios.
There is however one thing , the bios of the GPU is changed to get all shaders unlocked , and it was working fine for some long time , but now it's just overheating too badly.
I have also try to underlock the gpu , and it's still goes way to high , room termpertures are normal.
I even tried to put another fan spinning at 100% near that gpu with the case opened! to get more airflow , still same results.
Also the card has enough room for airflow i can't really find what is wrong with it , there is no overclock nothing done on it!
The cooper heatsink however is quite hot.
Last cause that i could think of that the gpu has a bad temp sensor.
If i let the card on it's normal fan speed , it doesn't ever go to 100% fan speed , and even if i run it with 100% fan speed and it reached 100C there is no bluescreen whatsoever.
What can i do?
