Hi, my name is David and first of all sorry for my english. I'll proceed to explain my problem.
Three or four months ago me and my girlfriend were planning to bought a new PCs. She and me find a great compilation in a web called "pccomponentes" from Spain(where i live) and we decided to bought the same PC's. So, this is the way we can know something is wrong, when one of the two PC's is having a particular performance. So in the very first days, we noticed an inussual Temperature in the graphic card of my girlfriend. When mine is over 65 Cº in Battlefield 3 , her graphic card is over the 80Cº and with very low FPS. Same PC's, same configuration. So, we decided to make an RMA to "pcomponentes" and they change the graphic card cause "the very high temperature is not normal". So, we try the new one and what is our surprise? The new one is even hotter. We put this graphic card in my PC and the same problem. We contact with "pccomponentes" and they told us that they see a normal temperature (over 85º), and they don't want to exchange the graphic card. They believe we are trying to deceive them. Also they tell us that we are free to send it, but we are going to charge shipping charges if the find the card isn't faulty.
So, we don't know how to proceed. This graphic card obviously is not working as the other one, and not like the benchmarks I see in youtube of this gtx 760.
What should I do?
 
P.S: this is our systems
 
- Asus Z77-A 
-Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4Ghz 
-EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SuperClocked 2GB GDDR5 
-G.Skill RipjawsZ DDR3 1866 PC3-14900 16GB 4x4GB CL9 
-Samsung 840 Evo SSD Series 120GB SATA3 + WD Green 2TB SATA3 64MB 
-Tacens Radix VI 650W 


 

The first thing I would do is take your card out and put it in hers to see what temps you get.  That will narrow it down to a GPU issue or something different in her setup.

Your video board will 'throttle' the clocks for self protection when the board reaches 80°C and that is why your FPS drop when the board reaches 88°C. Are the PCs in the same room? Is the airflow to the case vents or fans restricted from an enclosure? Ambient room temperature plays a large part in your GPU temps. Is there any way you can increase the case fan's speed?

I would recommend starting a support ticket with EVGA to get an RMA started. Here is the website for EVGA EU: http://eu.evga.com/support/

Hola,
 
yo soy de Zaragoza.
Lo primero que debes hacer es jugar un rato con la caja abierta, si las temperaturas se controlan el problema puede ser por mala circulación de aire dentro de la caja.
 
yo tengo una 780 y me sube también por encima de los 85, hice un RMA y me la devolvieron diciéndome que estaba perfecta, alli hacen las pruebas con la tarjeta al aire, y la diferencia si no está perfectamente ventilada la caja puede ser de hasta 20 grados.
 
Si es este el problema tienes 2 soluciones, o dejas la caja abierta o bien haces un perfil agresivo con el msi o precission.
 
 

Hola Roge1992
 
La verdad es qye yo tambien pensaba que seria de la caja, la prueba es que la de mi novia no es tan fria como la mia, pero ya la hemos probado ambos PCs y ha sido caliente en ambos, mientras que la otra que compramos(mismo modelo) funciona muy por debajo en temperatura.Ademas, tengo un perfil muy agresivo personalizado, estando en reposo a 70 fan speed.
