hello,
I'm having real trouble keeping my GPU cool. I have a pretty standard Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower Case and I even purchased 2 additional fans to try and help, but it seems to make no difference. There are two intake fans on the front, an exhaust on the back and two more exhausts on the top. (My CPU is fine, that's watercooled.) I've tried moving the fans around and changing which way they flow, but it makes little to no difference
The GPU is a AMD XFX 7950 HD. It was my first build and I fear I let the GPU get too hot all too often, and possibly now past the point of no return? It still works and I can play games more or less the same as when I got it. There's a few odd glitches, but it is 3 years old at this point.
I don't really want to buy a new GPU, but mine is sitting around 95 degrees when gaming.
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
