Hey there
My specs are:
Athlon X64 3200+ (2.00GHz rated at 3.20GHz, 512KB Cache)
2GB DDR Ram
Radeon HD3850 256MB (PCI-E)
Well, basically I tried OC'ing my GPU using Rivatuner about 10-15 mins ago to play a game as I was struggling with framerates. I loaded up the game again and low and behold my PC crashed so I obviously OC'ed too far. I reset everything to the default settings on Rivatuner but now my GPU does not seem to be running cool at all, it went from running at 45-55 degrees idle and now it is running between 70-80 degrees idle. I have no idea why as the settings are exactly the same as they were before I overclocked. Does anybody have any idea what has happened and how to solve it?
Thanks for your help and time.
Edit: I tried cooling it down by turning my fan speed upto 100% on the GPU which it did cool down to about 50 degrees but as soon as I set it to default (it runs at 25% speed on default, it did when I first installed it aswell and when I run games) and now it's running at 85 degrees for some reason. =/
