• ATI Radeon HD 4890 video card overheating for watching videos.
    3 replies, posted
Hi. I've been having trouble with my video card overheating at 100 degree Cecilius just from watching youtube videos. It goes from like 61 degrees to 100 in 3 minutes. I don't know why it's doing this but it's never done this before. Is there anything I can do?
Clean the heatsink on it, the 4800 always runs really hot. If that doesn't work you should remove the heatsink, clean it, and reapply thermal paste to it.
Yeah, just check there's no dust in it. My 4890 is running at 50 celcius idle and up to 70 celcius under stress.
My old 4830 didn't go over 66.. Well, anyway, clean the dust off the cooler with a can of compressed air, and use something like MSI afterburner for setting the fan speed.
