Hello,

The temperatures on my two 6870's before I took them out to clean were idling in the 40°c~ zone which was fine and then when I took them out, cleaned them and reseated them, the temperatures are about 20°c apart :eek: (by clean, I mean blow the dust out)

GPU1 is at 48°c while GPU2 is at 71°c :confused: GPU2 has more load then GPU1. Isn't this meant to be the other way around?

What could cause the temperature issues?
 
Yes, it is spinning freely :) I checked and it doesn't seem to be hitting anything and also afterburner reports the fan speed the same as the first one.

Thanks for the reply!!
 
I have tried reseating them but I will defiantly try again tomorrow. The PCI bracket seems different on one than the other :p I will also try switching them :)

Thanks!
