8800 Ultra High Temps?

[lollerskater69]

My BFG 8800 Ultra got seems to be getting a little hot? I'm not sure if it is the fan. I tried 3 different programs (Rivatuner, SpeedFan, and EVGA Precision) to try to move the fan speed from different ranges inbetween 25% and 100% and I couldn't hear a difference. Is that how this is supposed to be? Or may the fan be dieing? This is the first time I am using it in a while

It tops out at 104c load on OCCT GPU, which is pretty damn hot. may have even gotten even hotter if I had not aborted the test because I felt anything over 100c load isn't acceptable.

While the card still may be able to operate 24/7 playing games and such because OCCT stresses the GPU out 100%, which games would never do, I would just like to see if this is a normal operating temperature for this card or should I check on something?

System specifications that I used to test out the card:
CPU: AMD 720 BE
Mobo: MSI 790FX-GD70
PSU: Corsair 850TX (Was running strong with two 4850 X-Fire and still is)
(If you need more info LMK)

IDK if I have to RMA it or not. IDK if I have the receipt. Are there any BFG techs on here that can help me with this?
Thanks for any help guys

Considering how old it is, have you checked for dust or any lodges that might have formed?

I don't see anything besides fine particles. Nothing that should clog airflow.
