The GPU associated temperatures increase steadily. The exhaust air is not hot. It doesn't even feel warm. There are three temperature sensors associated with the GPU and all show excessive temperatures so could they all be defective? Isn't one of the sensors in the GPU itself? | |

I have no clue what the graphics card on that machine looks like but dust bunnies do like to accumulate in the most difficult to reach places & if it's anything like my HD 5770 then the only way to really get at them is to strip the card, which necessitates disassembly of GPU & heat-sink & therefore new paste. | |
