690 is getting hot!?

[ish1]

Hey guys.

I have a gtx 690 in my rig and usually it's maximum temeprature is around 82c when gaming

But recently while playing BF4 the temperature has gone up to around 88c

I have a custom fan profile and the fans are on 100% at that temperature.

The card is around 2 years old...My case has one 200mm intake fan at the bottom and one 200mm exhaust fan at the top...

What can i do to reduce temps on my graphics card?

Take the heat sink off and blow the dust out. Maybe reapply TIM

If that doesn't do anything then it may be a sign that it's on its way out

One thing I have noticed in the last couple of weeks is temps and how they have risen. A couple of people have asked the same.

I am fully water cooled and my temps were always sitting around the 40c mark in prolonged gaming but now they are sitting around 50c. The reason for me is because my ambient temps have risen a couple of degrees and I assume this is the case for others. Maybe the same for you?

Make sure you have good ventilation in your case and free from dust on the fans. Give the 690 a good blow out and clear the fan area.

Summer is coming fella's

Remove one hdd bay and move the other back (next to the the PSU). Remove that front stock Corsair 200mm fan and add a Bitfenix Spectra Pro.

Also check that your GPU is not clogged up with dust.

Sounds like stock TIM has hardened and some dust is in there.

Hopefully everyone running air/water should have noticed an increase in temps
We've gone from 2-6c weather to 12-15c!! Been bloody hot and i hate it !

We've had a really mild winter this year, annoying because i love the cold (-10 and lower and i'm at home)
