Idle temps ?
Is it a reference model ?
Check airflow inside the cabinet.
The temp's are definitely high. Do you have fan on side cover of cabinet? have you overclocked the chip?
The reference GPUs are based on the company's(amd,nvidia) standard specification for that product without any modification. Non-reference are usually modified by companies (asus, sapphire,msi etc) for different design, custom cooling, etc etc.
Google it for better explanation.
I can see an exhaust at the rear, but do you have an intake fan at the front ?
Try these simple steps:
1. Update the latest drivers.
2. Try keeping ur cabinet open(side panels).
3. If these doesn't work then check ur GPU fan speed & try increasing it with MSI Afterburner.
I believe this 'll sort out the problem.
this might be the fact that the Card itself is defective?? .. cause the temperature is too high
The card is fine, The heating only happens if i play games in high or more settings. I did keep the side panel , to test and the temperatures were around 70 while playing NFS Most wanted in full setting. The fan makes very bad noise as if its a radiator fan of a car. Normally the temperature stays at around 30 - 35.
The card: Sapphire 7750 OC
You mean that those temperatures were with side panel on and with side panel off, the temps are 70 C?
Ya, it was 70-75 with side panel off.. but even that is not a good temperate.. or is it ?
Cabinet is CoolerMaster Elite 310 : Elite 310 - Cooler Master
Well, the correct fan orientation is already mentioned on the link you've posted. Are you already having that orientation or are you missing some fans?
I was thinking of getting this >> BitFenix Spectre Blue LED 120 mm Cooler - BitFenix: Flipkart.com
@gta0gagan its an OC version..
