Is a temperature of 100-105C ok for 4670 under load?

Open your case? Do fan temps decrease? If so, you have bad airflow.
Do they not decrease? Heatsink might be seated poorly. Make sure the fan is spinning and no wires are blocking it.
105C is way too hot.
 
Is it pushing the heat into your case? .. if so you might look into getting some case fans.
As the last poster suggested, try seeing what your temps are like with an open case.

Also are we talking a new GPU or an old one that went up in temps over time? dust might have build up in the heatsink.
 
That's pretty warm, and the fan at 100% must be incredibly loud (assuming stock fan). You've got a problem card unless the internal case temp is 50C+!
 
Why are new posters so lazy

We need more info to diagnose this, OP. Please do what I posted earlier and report back. Simply reporting that your CCC says the fan is spinning is not good enough.

Do this before you RMA the card.

This, but if it doesn't help much (say 10C or less drop in temp.) then its time to rma.

Airflow does not make you go from 105C load to a comfortable 85C load. That is a bad card.

Yes. Even if he has 50 C in his room and the worst airflow in the history of computers, the card doesn't get to 105 C with the fan at 100%, unless it's defective. Most probably the heatsink is not attached how it should be onto the GPU.

Try reapplying thermal paste on the heatsink. The GPU is probably not making proper contact

This. It's happened to me multiple times with new cards. Wipe away that factory gunk with 90% isopropyl alcohol, and replace with AS5. Then you won't be without a card for a week and a half.

edit: nvm. Just saw your update. Good news. :thumbsup:
