Usually when gaming , the card could reach about 70 i think ; but i kinda feel that it's hot especially with the aftermarket cooler (TwinFzrII) which is known to be very good for temperatures.
Haihz...something sad happen , the graphic card kinda died last night when I resit it , don't know what happen though. probably static or something else =.=....
Plan to send for RMA
The GPU fans will still run , but the BIOS detect video issues ; monitor could not detect the graphic card.
Anyone know why this happens ? It's not due to the burn in though , cause I restart fine ; just that after resitting it then got problem already.
and oh ya , didn't overclock the card ; so the card doesn't die due to overclocking.
can claim warranty ? is msi strict with their warranty ?
I just bought 1 month ago only ....emo.
I am kinda confused at your blurry description. Too many things at once , chill and calm down.
First you have a temperature problem with your card, and now the card wont boot up after you re'sit' the card into the mobo slot ?
I seriously doubt the problem is linked, but regardless you may wanna check if you have the card has fill the slot properly.
Did you try with another monitor ? or with your older card to see if you can boot up just fine.
It is actually okay for a card to reach, even 100 degree , and most Nvidia card could withstand up to 105 for a while.
But It is not recommended.
If you think your card heat up too fast, have you been running very demanding game such as Crysis 2 / Shogun 2 ?
70 is actually fine as long as your fan is running properly. If you are worried you can manually adjust your fan speed to be higher to see if it helps with your situation.
