what happened to my temps :(

what happened to my temps - solved

Hi,
Ive changed to i7 from phenom II

my temps on gpu on full load never went over 56 and now on i7 (which runs cooler than phenom) I get over 60-65....

why ???

only thing Ive swapped was fitting on cpu block,nothing else...
it runs cpu,gpu,rad...

any ideas ???

Higher clocks if you've over clocked?

Woden · 29 Jan 2012 at 16:04

Did you clean the blocks and apply new thermal paste?

Stupid suggestion of your 2600k is pushing your 6950 further.
Are you noticing higher GPU usage/better frames?

Could just be the 2600k chucking more heat into the loop, but doesn't seem that likely.

havent touched gpu block

hard to say if I get better frames...will check that later...but on slower cpu, gpu would be pushed more ?

nope, i7 seems to be half the warm comparing to phenom.,,,

maybe I do get better frames etc, but I remember stressing gpu only and even then Ive never hit 60degrees on it....

next thing to add :
I remember that air coming from fans was warm when PC was stressed, now it is quite cold/room temp...

if temps on gpu reaches 70, I think tubes should get quite war as well ? well, they are not...

Just touched my tubes and yes, they are pretty warm.

There is clearly something physics defying in your GPU

heh ;p

maybe afterburner is reading temp wrong ??

if not, whats wrong

Well as long as it isn't melting, i wouldn't worry about it

heh

whats the max temp for 6950 ?

and I wont rest until I find why it is happening...

if amd was bottlenecking gpu, why it was using 99% of GPU in games ?

any idea where temp probe might be ?

Cleeecooo · 29 Jan 2012 at 17:53

100 is the max (103 to be precise)

maybe the use age was a bit dodgy?

use age ?

could it be the drivers ? i was on 11.xx and now am on latest...

Then it wasn't bottlenecking.
I have no idea then.

autocorrect fail. Meant to say usage

unlikely, but possible. any beta drivers out?

am not on beta...

could it be that I touched something while removing gpu when I was mounting new mobo in ???

have no idea what can be happening heh :confused:

I doubt touching it would screw it up

bastic · 29 Jan 2012 at 18:16

and if gpu is reaching 65 degrees, that shoudl affect cpu tem as well...well..it doesnt...havent seen it going over 30...

it was hanging and touched case when I was moving it...but yes...if omething would go wrong, it would go wrong

not really, the CPU temp won't be efftected by the GPU temp really
