PC Graphics

Hi all,

I'm experiencing hard shutdown when my pc is in vertical position (normal position with the tower 100 case from thermaltake). I've noticed when i put the case on horizontal position, all is good.

In vertical position, the AMD 6950XT goes until 110°C for the hotspot temperature in less than 20s (hard throttle) and 75°C for the GPU temp. Then i can have an hard crash ramdomly (sometimes after 25mn, sometimes 2h).

in horizontal position, the hotspot temperature is not going above 80/85°C (60°C GPU temp). No shutdown.

Is it normal ? I have removed all the sides panel to be sure it's not an airflow issue.

I don't know what to do. I bought the card 6 months ago but for personal reason i didn't used it. So, RMA or i just change my case ?

Thank you all !

Hey
I have an XFX merc 6950 XT. I tried 90 degrees and 180 degrees (with support). And I experienced the same.
But now the hard crashes persist even tho it is in normal position (with support also).
Have you come to a conclusion to what to do?
