so around 4 weeks ago my gtx started rising in average temperatures at load it was max 80 degrees,
the first weeks but it gets as high as 100 degrees on load,
now i have been getting artifacts once and some flickering textures in games,
i am currently using msi afterburner to keep it from melting should i be worried about it being broken?
Yes, you should be worried. What's your case?
Tone it down a bit. It's not worth breaking your card for a little bit extra speed.
You should reapply the thermal paste.
What's the fan speed reaching? Set it to 100% using Afterburner and see if it still gets as hot.
Reapply thermal paste, clear dust not just from the video card fan but the whole PC, tone the clocks down a little if that doesn't matter.
It's probably a fan profile that isn't ramping up properly. Make a custom fan curve in MSI afterburner.
i have a custom fan profile and the max it can be set to is 80% fan speed the card stays at 60 degree load then but the strange thing is that the 80-100 degree change happened over a single day and i just got the card 2 months ago
Im surprised nobody has said to dust it out. I usually take a can of compressed air with a small straw that comes with it, and blow into the fan cavity. Dust will come out, should lower your temps.

I was going to if you didn't. :P
If fan speeds don't help, most definitely check the dust.

It happened over one day, so that's some quite aggresive dust you have there. Not to rule it out, but it sounds unlikely.

The dude stated that he bought the card 2 months ago. That's not enough time for dust to build up. Either a fan died or they are misconfigured.
First of all did the fan noise change at all?
If yes then
1.Take it out.
2. Clean it out
3. Reapply paste if possible.
4. Plug back in.
If that doesn't work there are aftermarket coolers for the 570 (I think) which you can buy and fit easily.

100 degrees? I'm actually surprised it still works, you're lucky.
Clean that darn thing.
Throw a pc into water.

Sounds like dust in the fan.

[QUOTE=Adbor;29425198]100 degrees? I'm actually surprised it still works, you're lucky.[/QUOTE]
My 8800GT went up to 112c in every game, for 3 years. I don't use it ATM but it still works perfectly fine.

GPU's can handle 100 degrees. My 9600m GT gets 120+ playing [i]anything[/i].

yeah, and soon your 9600m will be only capable of rendering black screens.
Yeah, my 8800GTX went to 110C for several years without me noticing and it died after 3 years. That's not a terrible lifespan but I'm sure I could've gotten more if I paid attention to the temps. There was dust melted on to it...
Anyways, my EVGA GTX 570 does about 70C on load and 55C on idle, but I have a fairly big case. Probably something wrong with your fan or something.

My 570 idles at 36c to 35c. Loads to about 50-60c depending on the game. My room temp is about 70-65F so not to cold or hot.
Check to make sure the fan is seated right as well. The fan on my old HD4660 got knocked ever so slightly out of line, and it got up to temperatures in excess of 130 C and nearly fried within days. Open your case, run your computer, and if it looks to be off a bit, just try to shimmy it around until it falls into place.

When you use 2 monitors like I do, it doesn't underclock which is why it stays at about 55C.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;29430934]yeah, and soon your 9600m will be only capable of rendering black screens.[/QUOTE]
Well it will actually produce noticeable and extreme framerate drops if it's above 135 C but only when playing Red Faction Guerrilla. I honestly keep expecting it to die but the damn thing won't.
[QUOTE=dArKnEsS_2;29435436]When you use 2 monitors like I do, it doesn't underclock which is why it stays at about 55C.[/QUOTE]I do use dual monitors. I force my card to underclock with nvidia inspector. Otherwise I do idle at 48c.
