tried and the result still same.
idle 40-45 and in game spike to 90-100c.

I think you need to change the cooling system overall
Try get a 3rd party cooler for the GPU or water cooling
The card is operating at a very dangerous temperature, which risk degrading the components inside the card

right now i just browsing internet and watch movie. temp now 45c
when game the temp goes high.

i still try to find 3rd party cooling for 670 here.

Before I go further, just wanna ask something
Your GPU design is the reference design? The blower one?
Or using 2/3 fans?

i think this is ref design.

I see, reference design is known to have cooling issue, because of a single blower setup
The only way I can think of is to remove the cooler altogether, and replace it with a aftermarket 3 fans
Seems like a lot of hassle to do so
I am not sure how to help with this

replace with new fan include headsink or just fan?
does it need some modification to fit with reference design?

There's artic cooling which have quite an extensive line of 3rd party cooler (heatsink + fan) for GPU.

I saw them in Garage Sale before, but if you want it cheap(er), better source it from taobao.

aiyoyoyoyo until now 2 more important matters not addressed.

1. what is your casing and airflow configuration?
2. how warm is your room?

even if you remove the heatsink and did not re-apply new set of paste, it still shouldn't be reaching that temperature.

your idle temperature at 45c leads me to believe that your room isn't air conditioned and your casing might be small and have lousy airflow.

Eureka! This was the cooler I saw. Definitely get this for better cooling THE ZUL
Also, need to take into considerations what goldfries have suggested
Might be contributing factors towards excessive heat

I have tried this one http://www.goldfries.com/hardware-reviews/...-cooler-review/



Less than RM 200.

looks good, wondering does it fit to GTX 670?

my casing just cap ayam 1.
air flow quite ok, i open the side case.
been using this casing with GTX 670 since 2012.

start Jan 2015 start high temp. random black screen on heavy usage gaming. before dat works good.

i use same thermal paste with my cpu. or gpu need different thermal?

the thermal paste works the same.

open side case isn't a good idea, in fact it could be why it's running hot too.

reference coolers wouldn't be running at that heat level on load.

open side case for a reference cooler GPU isnt the ideal cooling idea

This reminds me of my infamous GTX 480 back in 2010. Temp while idle is 48*c and full load is 85-91*c. After cleaning the fans of dust and dirt, temps were a little okay 43*c in idle and 85*c at full load. But alas after 7 months of heat torture, it died peacefully in November 2010. Didn't have/know any thermal paste back then... I agree with Sir Goldfries, opening the side panel won't do much. Better change to aftermarket cooler or liquid cooling if budget permits.

thanks for your feedback.

i think i will go shop tomorrow or buy 3rd party cooling. probably artic cooling.
my pc auto restart while playing dota 2 due overheat. i think my cooler isn't good enough.

2nd hand GTX 670 RM500
3rd party cooling RM150-200
GTX 970 rm1300 ( JUST INCASE if i cant save that card, i will look for with good cooling like MSI,ASUS)

any chance if my GC over-volt?

Nah, unless you are overclocking, stressing the CPU to near full load, voltage should be lower than advertised

Could also be related to the bios? Maybe trying to update it? But chances are, your symptom is more towards problematic cooling. Better prepare for a new GC.

I used to have Leadtek GTX 670 reference. The max load that I ever observed was up to 85C only. I personally feel something may be wrong with your card. GK104 chip does not usually run that hot at default settings.

Either your cooler baseplate does not have good and proper contact with your GPU, or maybe faulty temperature sensor giving you such temps. Either way, I believe you should try to send your card in for warranty claim (if still have). Have you tried using other monitoring software aside from the one you're using now?
