hi,

my Leadktek GTX 670 shown some strange thing lately.
the temperature is spiking to 90-100c when in game (watchdogs,far cry 4,fifa 15 and dragon age)

i thought my normal load temp around 75-80c.

idle temp is 40-45c.

i already assemble it, clear dust and replace new thermal.
but still the same.

i dont't OC it.

does my GC went bad?
PSU faulty?

i bought it in 2012.

Already did it bro.

yes i did.
and the fan is spinning.

maybe virus or defect card?
or install 3rd party fan?

yes idle 40-45. right now im typing 44. i use speccy and msi afterburner for temp monitoring.
if i run heavy game it rocket to 80-90 very weird.
last time around 75.

already check and put some oil. still same

reference design by leadtek. coolermaster thermal.


idle 45. when game 80-90 with max rpm speed lol

it happened recently. i think start this year. Leadtek gtx 670 is normal 1 no OC.


i use the latest 1 and do clean install. even formating my windows.

UPDATE.

Format my windows, still same. replace thermal still same.
idk maybe something wrong with my headsink.

tmrw, i will test to my friend's PC, if same temp i will send to shop near my home.

any1 know who can check my GC in lowyat? probably install new headsink or fan?
i live in terengganu most pc shop is not good at it.

maybe time to upgrade? but this is very weird problem.!!

how to check it bro?

40-45. not really stable.

right now i max out my fan speed.



maybe my GC defected? going to kubur?

ok bro, i will re-assemble it for the 3rd times.

i will put a minimal amount. maybe i put it too much.

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

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.

i think this is ref design.

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

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?

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?

guys, finally i SOLVED it.

after i clean my thermal i put the bracket at the back board 'terbalik'.
i notice that bracket longgar. then, i changed it back to actual position. shame on me.

fuh! now idle temp went down to 37 and gaming 70c.
