nope. why?

jonneymendoza · 9 Oct 2011 at 22:54

GPU temps were 99c when it crashed on bf3. What would overheat? the cpu, gpu? what about hdds? memory sticks? mobo?

jonneymendoza · 10 Oct 2011 at 09:54

What aftermakrt cooler can i use for it?

jonneymendoza · 10 Oct 2011 at 10:24

hi, i think its this one i have No competitor links!

And no i don keep the firmware up to date. Also, my games are installed in on a separate SATA2 mechanical hdd, not on the SSD. could that be the issue?

jonneymendoza · 10 Oct 2011 at 12:07

cool ok thanks

jonneymendoza · 10 Oct 2011 at 15:06

i'l try memtest86 tonight

jonneymendoza · 11 Oct 2011 at 08:22

Hi all, reformated and installed win 7 again(took 30mins in total on my ssd ) and ran the intel burn test but when i woke up my pc was automaically restarted because of windows updates!

No BSOD so far and at this moment i ran the intel burn test again while im at work today.

If that has been cleared then which tool should i use to test my GPU? the 3dmark one? how long is the benchmark? is it another job that takes a few hours and best to do while im out or sleeping?

jonneymendoza · 11 Oct 2011 at 09:01

REALLY? interesting. mine idles at 70c

jonneymendoza · 11 Oct 2011 at 09:14

MrLOL said:
Why ?

You need to eliminate the problem of overheating before going looking for problems elsewhere.

Because BSOD could be because of bad RAM or overheating CPU. gotta test every component man.

Also, RO2 has crashed before when my GPU was hovering 85-90c

jonneymendoza · 11 Oct 2011 at 09:25

So what should i do then? the only thing thats overheating is the GPU. dont think its posisble for RAM to overheat? especially in such a large case with great airflow.

i cant eliminate the overheating without spending money on. this is why someone else said that it best to test all components before going out and buying new coolers and all that. for all i know, my win 7 and/or gpu drivers were screwed before and resulted on BSOD on demanding games.

i have been playing games extensively with no BSOD before at 90c+ temps.

jonneymendoza · 11 Oct 2011 at 10:34

i see. ok lets see if that works

jonneymendoza · 11 Oct 2011 at 19:01

so far running an xtreme burn test on kombustor for about 20mins so far and my gpu teps have not gone above 78c. i have tweaked the fan profile so when its over 75c, the fan speeds around 80%, when it reaches near 90c i make it spin 100%.

will let it run for a few hours. runing full 1080p res screen, dx11 and AA/AF 8x. is this the max load this kombustor app can do?
