"healing" 560 Ti

So I had this experience with a 560 Ti which I was gonna wash my hands off and forget, but I figured to post it here, maybe something will come out of it.

 

My neighbor had a 560 Ti Club 3D (single fan, dont know exact model)... So when I, out of curiosity, launched MSI kombustor, the temps went right up to 100, and then I dropped it immediately. (i think that was summer)...

 

I since then wanted to fix than, as soon as I could get my lazy sorry ass on the problem.

 

The card migrated to another chassis when I started tinkering...

 

So with a crazy -2 degrees outside temperature (I dont know what was actual room temp, I'd say what you might have in winter) the card was getting about 81C after 5-10min of unigine valley, with the side panel removed if I remember (I was using it valley in these instances). So I took it out, removed the heat sink, dusted everything, wiped the old paste (isopropyl 70%), applied a new layer of paste (i used noctua paste), screwed everything back and plugged the card back.

 

Nothing really changed, in fact I may or may not got 1-2 degrees higher (maybe ambient temps went up, dunno). So either the old paste was ok, or applied it not as good as I could've. Oh and since its 560Ti, it lived about 3-4 years without any maintenance... 

 

so afterwards...

BTW, he has some sort of lame chassis with no fans, kinda system that retailers and pc shops sell you (not your liinus media group performance hardware)... So no fans and a lame chassis...

 

With side panel open. I run valley, temps go up to 81-82C and stay there, as soon as I put the panel on, temps start going straight up to 90 and slowly rise up to 100. When I take the panel off, temp start falling down to 82C. I noticed with my hand, a hot pocket of air right above the pcb (top side). So then, ok, we need a fan, I go figure. I had a 92mm fractal R2 fan at home, so I mounted it at the back of the chassis (gpu is about 30mm below it)... didnt change a thing... I tried mounting it at the side of the case, both as exhaust and intake, no results...

 

So then I go figure, whatever... he will probably be at 80-85C in games, what he plays, its not a benchmark that has no breaks... Although it will be doomed once summer arrives.

 

I dont know much about 500 series... Doesn't it stay the same, temps above 80 is bad, right?

 

So then what the hell is wrong with the thing? Fan is old? (if i googled right, temps should be at 76 max on that card). the fan I used had low rpm... need intake and exhaust... Or, I pardon, pcb is dying, if that is even happens... ?

 

___________

 

what do you make of it?

Might be a dying fan...

 

Does the fan spin up to full rpm when you tell it to?

oh... i didnt use any software for fan control... but it does infact... mostly though when at 90C, the fan starts spinning like crazy... 

 

well if its dying and spinning slower than it should, then that is a very silent way to die, cause I dont hear any sound defects...

So it spins normally but the chip still runs hot?

 

It might be a bad chip, then... Or possibly just a bad sensor...

may be... sadly I dont know how it performed in the past...

 

that pocket of hot air is still a concern...

 

I am actually surprised to see a single small fan on a card of x60 Ti ... I think it needs more of its own fans... to blow the heat away, stupid design probably. looking at cards now, even some entry cards are dual fanned, but that thing is a middle card and 1 fan =/

It might've been a reference 560Ti...

 

I'm using a single-fan 260X right now and the heatpipes make up for the lack of fan...

no, it was Club 3D 560 Ti (I have mentioned it)

 

I'm out of ideas on what can make it run that hot... You already replaced the thermal paste and reseated the heatsink so I'm assuming you have enough mounting pressure...

personaly if it was my card I would tinker a bit more with it... but as it is not, then whatever... I'm thinking the fan is insufficient...

 

whatever, case closed... thanks for discussing the issue!

Like a lot of people have said, it could be a dying fan but also if memory serves the Fermi GPU's did run quite hot (Reminds me of the old Tesla GPU's lol).

My ideas:

-Fan profile.

-Custom aftermarket cooler.

-Moar fans.

...Does he have any plans on upgrading it?

thats the point... old generation of ppl... they dont give a shit about their systems... I barely convinced him to buy a gpu in the first place (he bought 750 Ti that went into his "child" rig, and he took that 560 Ti from that rig)...

 

personaly I would just remove the cooler frame with the fan, and mount a case fan on to the heatsink with rubber bands or something... but whatever... not my hardware...

I think he'll like the idea of an aftermarket cooler on the thing; if it puts temps back in place then that should grant him overclocking headroom to squeeze a bit more out of the card. I'm just speculating, however. I've never met him.

nope, thats what I said not giving shit about personal hardware... sad realy, I dont understand, person smokes, drinks, but cant buy himself nice hardware, as if he has no money... he barely bought a card, its not that he's gonna buy a cooler  that gives "no benefit" ...

 

let the card die in the summer, its about time to replace it eitherway xD
