Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded my graphics card to an NVIDIA GTX 560 2GB Charged, also upgrading my powerpack from 400W to 600W respectively.
This was a few days ago.
Tonight, my system appears to be overheating considerably quick and worryingly. This is within a period of 5-10 minutes of loading the game, or other games for that matter.
Checking on Speedfan, it is my GPU (graphics card) which is the main, if only issue.
HD1 goes up to about 48 degrees at a push, but it mainly sits idle at 40-43 on average,
Temp 1 goes up a little, but temp 2 is fine, temp 3 doesn't exist for my system (known by most as a false reading so it is removed).
I have attempted to run MSI AFTERBURNER to increase fan speed etc in a bid to help, but find that within a matter of minutes, the temperature goes up to almost 95 and freezes my system, even if i do so with the side panel off my pc (side panel being where the fans are near).
As I write this, the temperatures show on SPEEDFAN as follows:
GPU: 35
TEMP1: 38
TEMP2: 45
HD0: 45
HD1: 43
TEMP1: 30
CORE: 25
This is with the side panel off at the moment, and 5 minutes or so after closing swtor off.
Can anyone advise please? Do I need a new case, better fans etc, or is it something screwed? :S
