How to diagnose the problem

[MyCampGround]

Hello PC enthusiast community, 

     

     Hey guys i hope you are having a better day today then i am, this has been going on for the past 2 weeks now and i can't seem to figure out why my GPU is throttling itself back. I'm getting massive core spikes every 3-5 seconds and it is unplayable. I started noticing the problem when i was getting heavy fps drops, so i turned on afterburner and noticed that my GPU was reaching temps up to 105 deg Celsius. which is really high. So i RMA my GPU (they gave me brand new GPU ) and put it in there and still the problem persists. The thing is i don't have extra parts to swap out to test what the problem is. I knew enough that i needed to find out if the problem is hardware or software so i re-installed OS with the CD, problem is still there. Its not the power supply i borrowed my brothers CX 600 , problem still there. im getting dips down to 40's when i should be getting 90-120 fps on low settings. At this point i don't know what to do and it can be very frustrating. The only idea i have is that the GPU fried my motherboard chip set when it got that hot? Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advanced.

Your CPU is probably bottlenecking the GPU, which, itself, isn't all too great. Also, that PSU seems kinda whimpy, imp

That only happens in CPU intensive games, but it it was bottlenecked, it wouldnt be 100% usage and much lower temps.

My 260X at 1150MHz never goes above 70 degrees Celsius while playing games, something must be really wrong, I hope you figure it out.

If your GPU is sitting at 105C, then your problem is airflow and/or faulty fans on the GPU. Try running with your case open and see if you are still having these issues.

My system with far more powerful hardware only consumes 200w at load. The CX430 is perfectly fine for that system.

I rma the GPU and they gave me a brand new one

[MyCampGround]

i have had this computer for a year now its not the specs of the computer something is wrong with one of the components 

[k4p84]

you need to figure out the temperature issue mate, going that high is a worrying sign.

 

have you checked if the GPU fans are spinning, they can fail / be programmed to not spin up enough.

 

have you tried putting the GPU into the brothers pc if his is running fine.

 

it would seem odd to have two defective GPU's in a row too..

 

tried another PCI-e slot if available?

the second gpu temps are fine not exceeding 60 under load, fans are spinning no other pcie slot....its got to be the cpu or motherboard...i think my best bet would be to just rma both of them
