Card staying too cool?

[MeDownYou]

Well, I was trying to get my card to a toasty temp to see how my new fans are doing..but I've failed to get past 61C in the ugine benchmark

 

is it because i'm maxing out vram? or does my card just cool or something i did have to put new mx-2 on it when i replace the fans...

would overclocking help out the vram any?

Could be a faulty sensor, try another monitoring software

Might be a faulty sensor, as mentioned above, but it's hard to say.

I've never seen my XFX 280x go over 60c in Unigine Valley (even with 150mhz OC)

So I've got no clue tbh

added photo without msaa 4x on and not bottlenecked by vram in benchmark then (plus for some reason wanted slightly lower res...)

 

That's GPU-Z in the top corner, and HWmonitor in the bottom corner

would an OC even help if I fill the vram? heard many people saying that these cards run hot...but i have no reference as it wasn't operating correctly before i fixed the fans It is a 200W card though...

Try to use Furmark to get it toasty

I have a 6900 series card too (6950 1gb version) and mine gets ~75 degrees c when I'm gaming.

Sapphire single fan model, if yours is the one with 3 fans I can imagine it runs much cooler

 

Looks like this:

solid, I think my card works fine based on that, at least I can confirm it works 100% now

 

(although doesn't register rpm of fans since i put fans without that on) gpu still controls the fans based on temperature it looks like though which is good but no feedback for monitoring

Good time to upgrade that relic. You can get super cheap 7850's if you want something better or heck....get a used GTX 660ti.
