It's getting too hot in here.
Today my wife was too hot, but it turned off automatically at several points of my starcraft mania. I checked her(GPU) temperature and was shocked to see an idle 90+ degrees Celsius and peak 105+ degrees Celsius!
I couldnt stand it after several times of auto shut down(my 4850 card has a auto shut down temperature of 110 degree celsius), so i went to service her. took out the heatsink and fan compartment(i swore i took out more than 15 screws) and gave it a thorough clean. Shocked but relieved to see theres a super thick layer of dust choking the fins, blocking airflow from the fan. I was relieved because i think that that is surely the problem.
after assembling everything and played starcraft again, checked the temperatures and they went down to 56 degree celsius idle and 68 degree celsius busy! omfgfg. ok back to playing.
