R5770 Hawk temps help please

[Claire Drew]

I am getting upto 90c on my temps when running MSI Kombustor at stock speeds.

I know this is very high and am a little concerned about this.

Even if the case had poor air circulation would this be normal?

I have looked at the case in more detail and it is the card that his giving off the heat i have 2 140mm fans on the case 1 push 1 pull and they pulled air accross all the the cpu, ram and board and then also pulled heat from the psu out of the case too (very little heat).

The card does stop the air flow in the case as it goes all the way from the back of the case to the front bar a centermeter or 2.

Now the intake fan does blow cold air onto the back of the card and the outtake extracts the heat from the cards fans. I am concerned over the temps of this thing, could anyone offer any advice.

Picture of inside case is available if needed.

What temps you getting in demanding games? kombuster is way more demanding than the most intense games out there. Saying that, it could be a poorly applied HS or too much/less thermal paste

If you think it may be the case try setting your system up barebones (no case) and see what temps you hit,

Although I'd say as above, poorly applied paste/pads...

reseat heatsinks, i ran furmark on my 5770 earlier today and peaked at 72 degrees
if tweaking the HSF dont work, try removing some of those fans, they might be interfering with airflow

idel it is at 58c so I am going to try changing the fans round see if that has any effect.

The room the pc is in is 18/20c at best.

I have never done any reseating of coolers so this will be fun.

Will look at the fan set up first and then go from ther. Could this be a censor issue and its reading it wrong?

Changed the fans round so cold air is now blowing on the card and it has dropped the temp to 51c idle and peaks at 77c as with below. However the temps drop down by 4/5c every couple of seconds then shoot back up does this point anything out?
