Hi, I have overheat issue with my MSI GTX480 recently even at stock clock it reaches 90-100'c in 3Dmark Vantage & games.
I've been thinking to RMA or change the stock heatsink. If RMA, shop warranty already ended. Just manufacturer warranty left. Can someone assist how to? |

QUOTE(linkinawe @ Jun 3 2011, 09:49 AM) 1)Did you clean your dust inside ? open the card apart . clean everything inside including heatsink, fans, and whatever dust you see , and replace with a good thermal paste and see how it goes . If the problem still persist then you may try ask for RMA . Hi yea It's dust free, I have bench for testing out my hardware outside if my casing airflow could be the culprit. However I don't bother yet to take all apart to replace the thermal paste. That is what I'm thinking currently also possibility to replace the heatsink to Arctic Xtreme Plus.2) Your chassis condition still same like last time ? cable management , airflow ? You cant just hand in a card that full of dust for RMA , I think they wont bother you , they will try to ask your clean first.  |
