Overheating HD 6950 - 105c

[Harroc]

Hey guys,
Just here to see if anyone could help me with my overheating problem. I have a PowerColor HD 6950 PCS+ Vortex II (never going powercolor again) and its overheating like mad! As soon as i put on a youtube video, game, anything the temps on my card go from 45-50c idle to 105-106c. Ive redone my thermal paste, taken my can of compressed air to it....nothing.

Im hoping someone will know what might be causing this overheating. I had to return the card for this same problem just over a year ago. They fixed it and returned my card to me. Sadly im now 1month out of warranty (the problem started again about 2months ago but like a fooooooooooool i forgot about my warranty being 2years and it ran out a month ago) Wish i knew what they did to fix it so i could try it now

Any help is appreciated as i cant really afford to buy myself a new card at the moment

Anyone?

Are the fans actually spinning? If they are, is the heatsink defo making contact with the core?

Hi, email them tell them about it overheating again and that you had it repaired by them a year ago and its just out of warranty

Quote the repair No or RMA No, proof of repair?

Its worth a try.
