GTX 275 VRMs 100C ??????

[wolf2009]

This GTX 275 I have seems to be having a problem. The VRMs are going upto nearly 100C while gaming after only 5 mins in GRID.

Is this normal ?

The card I have is the Galaxy GTX 275 Tri Fan edition.

I have noticed that there is a passive heatsink under the cooler that uses push pin method, and doesn't go all the way down to touch some electric components under it. Can i replace this heatsink or make it go all the way down ?

VRM's get really hot. They are allowed to get hotter than the GPU itself. I am not sure what the upper limit is but I believe 120C is where it starts to get too hot.

Gotta love how people can freak themselves out. Yes, VRM's get very hot.

Probably 125C, most power components are 125C but yeah 120C good to stay below that.
