superturkak Posted September 25, 2013 Author ID:734455 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I did what you said, it is open, and had a little fan over it, but it is still heating up? what could this mean? is it related to my power supply? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superturkak Posted September 25, 2013 Author ID:734456 Share Posted September 25, 2013 scary thing is, from 60 celcius it goes to 100 celcius in minutes...any ideas on this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted September 25, 2013 ID:734458 Share Posted September 25, 2013 No. It is not related to the Power supply Unit (PSU). If the CPU heats up it is a function of activity. Greater activity means greater current draw and thus heat losses also increase. If one is apt in Electronics, one *may* be able to...1. Remove the video card from the PC2. Remove the heat sink from the GPU3. Remove the heat sink compound from the GPU and Heat sink.4. Reapply a thin layer of new heat sink compound5. Remount heat sink6. Verify proper GPU fan operation It is something the average person should not do unless they are trained, experienced and comfortable with this level of service. If you are not, you have have to just make sure the fan is clean of dust and debris and is in working order and there is proper air flow in the chassis. All this is ASSUMING that the heating problem is a direct cause of the BSoD condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superturkak Posted September 25, 2013 Author ID:734460 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think so too, i reached 96 celsius but no Bsod, i cleaned the gpu till the fan only, I didn't remove the cooling fins...I have an Uncle whose an electrician, he knows how to apply heat sink, I'm gonna ask him tomorrow, and gonna be back here later the night because I have a health check up. wish to hear from you later on and thank you very much.

David H. Lipman Posted September 25, 2013 ID:734501 Share Posted September 25, 2013 OK. Sounds good. Basically the Heat Sink Compound is used to transfer heat from the component to the heat sink. The heat sink dissipates the heat and the air flow from the fan removes it. Anything we do that improves the heat transfer will mean a reduction in the noted GPU temperature and hopefully mitigate the BSoD condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWB Posted September 27, 2013 ID:735139 Share Posted September 27, 2013 a little google search shows that these boards tend to run a bit on the hot side .if the video card has not been "touched" ... i would suggest contacting nvidia (or the manufacturer of the board) and explain the problem .there may be a recall or an exchange program in place ... removing the heat sink may void any warranty .if there is no satisfaction from nvidia ... then try re-gooping the gpu heat sink .also ... what is the case temperature ? do you gave good airflow in and out of the case ?(the cooling fan on this graphics card is substantial ... but poor airflow in and out of the case raises the chance of overheating) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superturkak Posted October 9, 2013 Author ID:740003 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Sorry, for the late reply, I have fixed my GPU and the problem was my fan stopped working and I replaced it. thank you for the help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted October 9, 2013 ID:740004 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Better late then never. Thanx for the update, it is greatly appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
