hi i want to ask if there is a solution for this problem my graphics card was working fine
then suddenly i notice that the (Amd radeon HD6950) gpu's temp reaches 102 i closed the game then the pc crashes every time i open

i notice that the speed of the fan become at 100% 1500rpm instead of 4000+Rpm

so i cleaned the gpu and inserted a new thermal paste then i test the pc again
i tested in the benchmark and found out that it overheats in 20 seconds to 90 so the problem still remains

is the gpu is broken? or is it a problem in the PSU or gpu's heatsink??
notice that i am not overclocking and the speed fan is on 100%

My guess is the fan has died or is dying. As you already noticed that the fan rpm is off at 100% a broken fan is probably the issue.

Sounds like the fan broke , maybe look for another cooler ? Is it a reference design ?

Either fan is clogged with dust and needs good undusting or it is broken. Maybe you can manually adjust fan speed with software like Sapphire TRIXX.

the fan after i clean it runs 4600 rbm and now i am running it all full speed all the time when i test in benchmark it took 10 seconds to reach 90C (top) so immediately close the benchmark
i face no shuttering nor screen glitches and i find it kinda strange i feel that the gpu is fine and can run any thing but boils like hell
so is the heatsink might be the problem or what do you think?

1. Clean up this GPU, diagnose the problem, and find a buyer for it.

2. Buy new GPU

3. Enjoy gaming @ 70 C with 2x/3x the FPS and a third of the power usage.

4. DO NOT stress with Furmark. Use typical gaming scenarios, not this, especially not on an old GPU.

Unigine Valley, Superposition, and Heaven are all very good benches. 3DMark is fine. BUT NOT FURMARK.

usualy the gpu runs smothly with furmark but now in an instant it jumps to 90
i guess no one would buy gpu in this critical situation
if the problem in the heatsink i will change it and then sell the gpu if in the PSU which i doubt then no need for new gpu

i will try your advice :D
same temp values shown in valley benchmark but i will stop furmark looks like it does alot of stress on the gpu

You are quite incoherent , if the fan can in fact run at full speed but you still get those temps it means the GPU dose not make proper contact with the heatsink. You might have not put it back properly.


Those temps look fine to me ( form Afterburner ) at 100% fan speed when running furmark. And by they way , stop running furmark.

I just cleaned the 6950 in my nephews pc a week or so back, the blower was running so loud. When i took it apartmi noticed the tim was cured rock solid, but imo it was the vram chips that were overheating, the thermal pads had broken down. I replaced it with some pads i had from a set of heatspreaders i took off a set of ram and its been much better. Id recommend not running furmark Atleast till u fix the heat issue

Replace thermal paste on the GPU. if you have never done this before then it is high time to do it as it should be changed atleast once a year.

'at least once a year' is ridiculously overdoing it unless you run your GPU full load 365 days per year.

Most GPUs don't need a thermal paste refresh for the first two-three years at the very least these days. After that, it depends entirely on the paste you use.

Most people who buy a Good GPU would be to run games on it. And i would expect most people to game atleast 50% of their free time. Plus replacing thermal paste is too easy and can be done when cleaning out the heatsinks in the first place.

'Most GPUs don't need a thermal paste refresh for the first two-three years at the very least these days. After that, it depends entirely on the paste you use.

Oh boy... The OEM supplied thermal paste is the worst possible one that can be used in a product. That is the first thing i replace after buying a new card. And i wouldnt bet to use it for a year let alone 3 years! And no, i have spoken to many manufacturers, as far as i can recall XFX and Sapphire have no issues with your replacing thermal paste.

To each his own, but don't spread fairy tales like truths. The thermal paste found on GPUs is of perfectly fine quality, and replacing it is no necessity at all. Just like you can use Intel-K processors just fine without delidding them.

If you game 50% of your free time and you have 4-5 hours of free time per day, which is quite normal in a working life, that means 2,5 - 3 hours BEST CASE per day. If you're addicted but still have a working life, you'd push that to the full five hours per day, perhaps 6-8 if you play hard. That's still only 1/3rd of the 24 hours in each day.

Reality checks, do some.

Half of that makes no sense, but whatev.

GPU TIM/pads only need to be replaced if you start to have problems, unless you're overclocking.

I notice you said u "inserted a new tim" so you disassembled and then replaced some new tim following proper steps? Im not certain if you did, but check the thermal pads for degredation, maybe even watch a video on 6950 cleaning. I just don't know what your experience level is so please don't take offense to that .
Everyone makes mistakes maybe you put it back together incorrectly or put the thermal paste on incorrectly but 9 times out of 10 something like this is user error.if the temperatures were high before you replacing the thermal paste, and you're sure you did it properly and they're still high, and it's very likely a thermal pad somewhere not making contact properly or possibly even one of the fans not running. Even if one Vram chip isnt making proper contact to the heatsink you can get high temperatures like this...theres also usually a heatsink, or thermal pad on the Power phases on the GPU too, which can cause some heat issues if not properly cooled/dissepated.

it should have proper pads on the following locations

Going back to basics, now that we see that the fan is working it can only be either really bad contact between the gpu die and cooler, or the fins in the cooler are totally clogged with dust. I guess there's a very very slim possibility that the heatpipe(s) somehow got damaged and lost the secret sauce that makes them work. That's unlikely though, my money is simply on dust build up. You can blast it out with compressed air or just take the cooler apart so you can get to the fins to clean it.

i agree if you take a look at it again and check how good the pressure and the contact between the chip and the heatsink
except you heavily OC or flashing it, i assume your card is fine

How can you have 3 hrs of PC time per day? and isnt your PC on during the free time anyway? I mean if you have kids its understandable but the PC is always on, playing music or something.


And no, what ever you say, the Stock thermal paste (i dont call it TIM as it can mean a wide number of materials) is definitely not good enough for more than 1 year like you said. I have had my GPU OC'd by 10% and its 4 years old. I replace my TIM every year or everytime i need to. Havent had an issue with frame drops or anything.

i checked the GPU and found out that there is no gap between the heatsink and the chipset so i guess there is no problem there

That will influence temperature limits.
Your temps look fine, as mentioned earlier, the only thing I question is the RPM figures you gave, over 4,000 seems high.

have the voltages been altered? I don't know if it's a new card or not. But if someone before you altered them it might explain the high temps after a load possibly

Either fan is clogged with dust and needs good undusting or it is broken. Maybe you can manually adjust fan speed with software like Sapphire TRIXX.

Not so much the fan but the heat sink, the blades of the heatsink get blocked typically, you have to take the whole cooler apart to do a though job of it. How ever if he looked in the direction of the air flow he should see the dust build up.

Canned air though the end of the card can help to displace the dust of the fins.
