Mine keeps getting way hotter than it should and I think it's effecting performance, it's starting to really piss me off.

b) cable management
c) more fans
d) put that shit in an aquarium

I think new case may be the answer :/

I don't know why, I've got a decent Antec but the side has fallen off so it's not really... on there anymore. Also half the fans don't work.

you can but if you're gpu is running that hot something's up. might have a bitcoin miner stashed away if it's always maxed out and sweating itself silly.

Nah it just gets really high while playing games. I swear if I let it go unregulated it'd probably go up to 90.

90 at load is fine. start tripping when it goes over 100.

Doesn't it throttle over 80? I'm aware it can operate safely up to 94 I believe but everyone and their mum tells me that's dangerous and bad for it.

Also... I just did a 3DMark test and I got 14k for graphics which is higher than other GTX980s, mind you mine is a little OC'd... still, means there isn't anything wrong with it and I'm just coming to terms with it getting older. Is 8GB of ram a bottle neck tho?

yes but using aftermarket coolers will void your GPU warranty

Are you maxing out RAM usage?

Those are pretty cool looking, I wish Linus Tech Tips would do an episode on them.

I would put the side back on and looking to see if the fans are just disconnected before throwing dough at it

Not to my knowledge, but I haven't really checked. I can't imagine many games using more than 8gb.

Eh, I'm just antsy I'm not achieving a perfect 60 with some games but I think that's just the nature of gaming sometimes. You need an overkill machine to stay at 60 and handle some of the exciting effects and what not that come at you from time to time.

Do you have a monitoring app that allows you to make fan profiles? MSI Afterburner is good for this. You can have the fan speed up sooner to keep the card cooler. It'll be louder, but do its job.

I've just left it on auto because I just don't care anymore. I'm gonna sell it and upgrade ASAP I think, though I have been using MSI to limit the temps to 84 though cause I thought that was acceptable. Now I'm letting it go to 90 with auto fan control.

And here I was worried when my GPU went to 60 playing WoW or Supreme Commander (admittedly it's the summer in Georgia right now too)

Well yeah... that's what I mean. Why the fuck is mine getting so hot, though, I'm not sure it actually matters as it's gotta be running really hot for a long time to actually do any harm.
