I also got the same problem with my 2 year old+ GTX 590. I remember when I first got the card, Dota 2 only pushes the card to 78-82ºC. Now it goes up to 88-92ºC. Playing Watch_Dogs on my rig now pushes my card temp to 92-95ºC.
My monitor also occasionally black out and that will cause my computer to go BSOD, just that I can't see the BSOD because my monitor black out. I have to wait for it to auto-restart and I will get a notification when I load Windows that my computer just recovered from a serious error. When I click "view details", it says my com just BSOD.
My rig got no mobo video-out. So can't swap the DVI. However, when I do hard-reset (open rig, take out mobo battery for 10 seconds), the blackout wont happen for like 2 months. So I have to hard-reset every 2 months for this. This makes me unsure it's mobo issue or card issue. Any advice?
hey, recently there is a new patch, my card is also hotter than usual, msi gtx 680, apparently uses more power frm the card. the loading screens etc .. u might wanna take that into considerations
