Gpu overheating

[admiraleddy24]

So I just moved my Foxconn motherboard and graphics card HD 5450 into a new fractal design case. I upgraded a PSU and added h60 and a new wifi card. Gpu used to run cool 30 degrees idle, now it runs 50 any comments????

This according to hw monitor

It's pretty old card have you dusted it?    Ohh it's a fan less card..

Is the wifi card in close proximity to the 5450, woud it be blocking the cards fan in anyway.

No I replaced a old wifi card in the exact same spot. Could bad contact with pcie be a problem? Idk what's wrong. Case flow is better than before.

Is the h60 pulling air into the case, if it is the radiator could be heating up the air coming in raising the temperature inside the case.

Like there is plenty space. And I bought a gtx 950, but I don't want to put it on that pcie slot if it overheats my cards.

I have the h60 and another intake fan in the front. Rear exhaust  no top fans. My old PC was a prebuilt with no intake fans.

More intake fan? But it doesn't matter for this card to run even 70`C

[admiraleddy24]

At highest fan speeds with my case fan controller temps don't dip below 50

Try running the h60 fan bacwards and the rear exhaust backwards so the h60 pushes out and the rear pulls in. See if the temps change. The radiator can be heating up the air coming in and it looks like it is blowing directly onto the 5450.

Or should I install two top intake or exhaust fans??? I have some..

I think you should just use the h60 as exhaust, you dont need to add more fans just relocate the h60. Can you put it at the rear of the case as exhaust? Also what fractal design case is it?

No it won't fit on the rear I tried. It's a node 804

[admiraleddy24]

There's a good 4 inches from rad to gpu but I guess I'll try exhausting the radiator.

Honestly, 50c idle on a card like that is most likely fine. It's not idle that matters, especially since it's passively-cooled. What matters is how it dissipates the heat while under load.

Yeah it's just that before I put it in a better case with better fans and better airflow it was doing 30 idle.

Have you tried something as simple as cleaning it? Are you sure that somehow, the card isn't always clocked as if it's under load?

It randomly sometimes goes up to its max clock of 650mhz on idle. This picture is all idle.

Hm. I'm not too sure then. I can't really say much else, since it's cooled passively. Clean it, see how hot it gets under load, and that's about all you can do.

Is this after turning the h60 to exhaust.

It actually has a small fan on it that, before making a case switch, I couldn't really hear it while playing rocket league, now on the menu screen of rocket league it's going crazy. Like horrible sounding.

No not yet sorry. It's before. I will put up my next picture of it as exhaust.

Its myth that the heated air heats up components. Linus and Jay says it

Since your card is passively cooled, I think it has a greater effect on it than cards with fans. Plus your card went up 20 degrees for no apparent reason, all I can say that is there is something up with the cooling.
