Hi all,
I have just recently purchased a Palit GTX 570, it's not the sonic or the sonic platinum. I bought it off Ebay from a guy who owns a shop, it was in the window for 2 month and unused and came with no box hence why i got it so cheap (£220). I installed it and proceeded to play Battlefield, everything on full and it's spot on. I went back on to desktop and in MSI Afterburner reported that it was hitting 90+ i mean really close to 100 degree's, therefore i bricked it and shut down battlefield. When i closed it, it rapidly went back down to a cool 35 degree's on desktop. Set the fan speeds on 90% and loaded up battlefield and it went up rapidly again. This has totally confused me to why it is doing this as i have good air flow with 4x12cm Fans. 1 at the front for air intake 2 on the side right in front of my GPU and 1 at the back to release air. I'm too scared to play games now and unfortunately probably can not send it back if it is screwed... But it was brand new when i got it really you could see the input slot was untouched. Can anyone help me please? thanks.
