usaweapon777 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Alright guys well I have been gettings artifacting lately on my galaxy gtx460 1gb. It is only a couple weeks old and this bothering me. I am running a 8800gts, and gt240 along with it. Right now at factory settings the card is registering 93C under load from gpu-z. I'm assuming something is seriously wrong with the heatsink or something and I should RMA it? The gt240 and it are quite close together but the fan still gets decent airflow... I am at a loss here as to how a new card can have these issues. Edit. I put all 3 gpu's under load and the 460 is up to 99C Edited February 6, 2011 by usaweapon777 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joel.monteiro Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 The card is faulty,should shouldn't be getting those temps,i would give it for rma,or do this at your own risk,open the card and re seat the heat sinks and reapply the thermal compound.

Speedway Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Both the 460 and 240 look like they are running hot. The only card that doesn't is the 8800! Is is a coincidence that that happens to be the bottom card? Porbably not Here is what I would do - take the 240 and 8800 out and see what temps the 460 runs by itself, if it were me I would probably do the same with the GT 240! If the the 460 is still running anywhere near those temps, then I would say it is time for an RMA. I have 2 GTX 460's in SLI and even when I am benching like crazy, my top card barely hits 60C! But you have 2 cards under the 460, and heat rises. Test the 460 alone and post some temps, that is really the only way to know if the card is running hot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

usaweapon777 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) well with just the gtx460 my load temp is at 73. If you have 2 in sli and there no where near that hot I assume mines got issues?

Speedway Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 well with just the gtx460 my load temp is at 73. If you have 2 in sli and there no where near that hot I assume mines got issues? What are your ambient temps? 73C load is that Kombuster? If you like I will run it and see what I get. But 73C load temps on the 460 seems very high, unless your ambient temps are high righ now as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaweapon777 Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 ambient is 70f. It doesn't matter its artifacting right now I have green lines all over the screen even without the other cards in the case. At this point I'm pretty much forced to RMA. Lol I love how galaxy says they have 24/7 support. I call and it just gives me an answer machine..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
