Title: Graphics card reporting innacurate temp - how to fix? Post by: relay1 on March 06, 2013, 09:07:37 AM I have a 5770 reporting that it's running at 105C at 85 Mh/s. Now, I know this is complete nonsense because I have, on the same board, a 5870 running at 412 at 55C. Also, the room temp is close to freezing, roughly 40C right now, it's an uninsulated pond pump shack in my backyard and I live in the NW.
I assume this inaccurate reading is throttling the hash rate, I can get at least 215 out of that card (as I have in the past). Any ideas on how to trouble shoot what exactly is wrong and fix it?

Post by: ssbtoday on March 06, 2013, 06:09:20 PM I suggest that you reapply your thermal paste on the graphics card heatsink because it may have become loose and isn't distributing the heat as well anymore...

How do you have your 5870 running at 400? Mine's stuck at ~350 |
