With an Overclock like that you ok. Was this playing a demanding game Like crysis 3?

Some games push my temps into 70's Sleeping dogs, Alan wake, crysis 3
But strangely enough BF3 my temps stay around 60c the same what fifa 13 pushes.

The GPU can run at 90c and is rated to reach 100c so anything above 85/90c I would start reducing the Overclock.

They're great temps - especially for 25c ambient.

Now stop showing off and go play some games

IC3 · 31 Jan 2013 at 15:53

Had my radiators changed and from 0 to 6 I have it on 4 but its so hot that I have to open a window. It now bounces from 26 to 27 up and down.
Will try it out on crysis 3.
I just got use to my old gpu temp reaching 46c in games like bf3 and it was oced but it had artic accelero twin turbo on ;]

How is that cooler you have on ur 7950 doing?

EDIT:
Every game the OC is fine and crysis 3 after couple mins just freezes my pc and I get a blue screen after it restarts...
Temp 75c.

When my card was alive, brilliantly. Around 50c in sleeping dogs extreme @1150.

Don't ask

Is any other game making it hit 75c?

Sorry I now need to Ask
What happened to the GPU?

Shankly, I'm sure Fifa 13 damaged my old 7870, it used to reach 80c in the menu's and artifact like mad with the loudest coil whine I'd heard in any game. Nice coding by EA as usual.

Sounds more like a broken card than the game.

I took it out, put it back and it would only display flat, primary colours...

I sighed and moved on with my life

Did you try it in another PC? Can you RMA it?

Card was mostly fine in every other game. Other users experienced the problems I had as well.

Coil whine is a defect in the card.

Not really considering most high end cards experience it in the menus in games. V-Sync fixes it but caused input lag in fifa.

She's dead cap'n.
The RMA situation is kinda classified at the moment.

Fight club rules apply here and what's the first rule of fight club?

I use Vsync in all games and get zero input lag. Not using Vsync could be a good reason why your card was damaged.
Leaving a card to just run without no limit will produce 100% load and output has meny Frames per second making the card run super hot.

So no wounder you was getting 80c in Fifa lol

If that was the case they'd recommend everyone use v-sync. Trust me v-sync causes input lag whether you notice it or not is a different story.

Fps cap of 2 fps below vsync removes all noticeable input lag for me, if you can still feel input lag after that you need to disable triple buffering.
