[Solved] ASUS 7970 Matrix Platinum overheating
Hi everyone,
TechPowerUp hasn't let me down so far, so I thought I'd ask the question here.
I've just purchased an ASUS 7970 Matrix Platinum off someone today and its temperatures are frightening at best. Using Kombustor, the temperatures reach well over 90C even at 100% fan speed for both fans at stock (1100/6600) I had to stop the test so that it wouldn't go any higher.
I'm wondering if a reseat of the heatsink would be worth the effort (would that void the warranty?), or whether I should just send it in for an RMA. Is there anything else I could try before sending it in for an RMA? (A 1-3 week turnaround time isn't exactly appealing to me.)
Thanks!
