^_^ Mines near enough the same but my Temp never rises above 40c Altho I have a **** ton of fans and My room is always cold.

FREEZE! Drop the LIKES AND WALK AWAY! - Currenly rebuilding gaming machine, I will Return.

Modern video cards are made to run up to those temps. I know my Radeon 4870 can run up to 105C safely according to the design documents. Really that sounds normal. If it wasn't safe you would see artifacts and eventually your screen would go black or freeze. If it bothers you, you could try manually setting your fan speed, but this will be a lot nosier. ( I keep mine at a constant 40%) I'm sure you hear it spin up when you go into CQ. My card makes all kind of squealing noises when there are intense graphics. It's still working perfectly fine. I've had it almost 4 years now.

My only concern would be is that those temps heat up the inside of your computer, making everything else run warmer then it should.

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.

Graphics options.

Set interval to one ... or two.

Caps the fps at your screen refresh or half of it.

Will lower your temp, although it's not really an issue.


What you're moaning about is actually that CCP makes great use of the gfx card,
while others don't so much.


He is absolutely correct about everything he stated in this quote. Despite being the Holy Martyr of Hektarians

Another "maybe":

GC manufacturer: nVIDIA /Gigabyte/Galaxy/whatever??
Some might have control standards above others and deliver a better product, also different card design and stuff. (I actually trust Gigabyte stuff and CAS), components are often the best or second best available in the market, fans are quite well designed pre OC and guaranteed 100% etc. price is reasonable but not the cheapest ones.

Did you check your CG plug was a single cable or 2 different ones (2 different plugs in the same cable is bad) ?
You've got some Amp limit and should have different independent cables plug, one for fans and one for GC board , but once again depends on your GC manufacturer and your GC bios might also need update (got mad with 4870x2 because of this)
Watch out your manufacturer update/drivers (not nVidia video drivers), sent petition ticket about your problem, they will eventually change it fast.

Usually you shouldn't have to flash/update that GC bios, however you've got a problem in some freacking new machine and that GC has a problem for sure (560 ti should barely go above 70°C stressed by prof benchmarks and standard use conf)

Sry would like to help you solving this crap but the more info you give the more it looks like you're just unlucky and got some defective GC.

Yes, but there is absolutely no reason for one character model in one small room to put such load on the GPU.

I'm on a stock 560 Ti myself and while I don't know the temps, I can simply hear the load because after several seconds of WiS my case gets twice as loud. Exit station in a ship, or switch to hangar view - everything quiets again.

I know this is an internet forum so people will dig out every possible other explanation but the most obvious/logical one but really, 100C in what looks barely better than a Doom 3 level on a 560 Ti is a joke. Something is obviously very wrong here.

A big part of why "Walking In Stations" is halted for the moment is the engine would melt down any GPU trying to render more than two avatars at once.


No kidding. Now I understand perfectly why WiS is getting so delayed.

Might want to consider replacing the factory thermal paste with artic silver 5, especially if the card is over a year old. Paste has a finite life. It will tend to dry and crack reducing thermal performance. I doubt, though it'll get you below 90c unless the heatsink wasn't mounted properly in the first place.

Next look at airflow. How warm is your case and cpu running. If they're all high, might be indicative of inadequate/improper airflow. You want at least 2 90 - 120mm fans on your case. One in, one blowing out.

If you have any pci cards in close proximity to the gpu fan, move them farther away if you can.

Could replace the stock heatsink with something aftermarket.



Arctic Silver 5 is electrically conductive which doesn't make it ideal for the exposed circuitry around the chips on a video card. It works well for CPUs since most modern CPUs have a IHS (Integrated Heat Shield) which protects the chip and makes installation easier. A non-conductive paste like Arctic Cooling MX-4, Noctua NT-H1 or Shin Etsu X23-7783D (if you can find it) are better alternatives. Plus you might get better performance from those pastes.


You're right.. But it's capacitive. Honestly, never had a problem with it. Assuming one isn't gobbing the GPU with excessive amounts and that most systems are towers and the GPU is pointing straight down, it shouldn't be a problem even if it expands as it heats allowing excess to roll off. Then again, if the guy is running CQ at 60FPS and 100c, I'd say it's fairly certain that it does have a IHS.

Don't ban me, bro!
