5870 is getting 2 hot,please help!

[Leilaa]

Almost three weeks back from here,I am seeing that my 5870 is getting hotter and I am not sure why,in idle is configured around 57 C - 61 c and while gaming it is able to move up with the 81 C.

I am just considering on applying some shin-etsu themal paste to cool the same down a lot. Will it be feasible for us or not ? Also, I am just wondering that if i void my XFX warranty performing the same . by going through the new thermal paste or even browsing up the card .

Your power issued enough ?In some cases, if you need not to have apprpriate power stuff that can overheat.... you seems to be enough, but the specified ps is moving out then it can happen.

but that is not so fine sometimes and it is able to reload the drivers maybe some oc or something replaced voltages which you didn't need to have or third party software overclocking the same automatically had that with ASUS video card addon software overclocking my components without me performing anything..

It am not running with a modular PSU and it is assumes as a 650TX, discussing about the cable management. According to me, it is fine and I don't have any cluttered cables upon the board neither the PSU or Video card,all that memory is wiped up properly. The antec 300 has a backplate to put entire excess cables back there. Purchasing a Corsair 750AX soon though.

You need not to for the highly compatible and newly PSU unless your recently one released , if failing. It almost definitely assumes as a cooling related problem. You need to switch all your case fans on max and find out if temps drop. I am running with the Antec 300 Illusion and with entire fans on high it is almost whisper quiet. You should maybe pull out a multimeter and test the PSU of your's , in case it is getting failed..
