I have had overheating problems on all three of my Gtx 660 ti cards. I play Skyrim with about 243 mods and my card used to overheat. I have gone to a closed loop water cooler setup using the NZXT G10 bracket. Water cooling worked well, BUT, first, check the air flow inside your computer case. Without knowing what your particular setup is, I will give you some generic ideas. make sure your fans bring in outside air as low as possible and exhaust it as high as possible. Also small cases are great for aesthetics but suck for air flow. Try to get a case with the best airflow you can get. Also remember hot air rises so the floor is the optimum location for your case, if you have carpet, set the case on a piece of thin plywood to keep the carpet fibers from getting sucked into the computer. If you are overclocking anything, cpu, ram, gpu (video card), you are creating unnecessary heat. You can add more case fans depending on your case configuration but one solution that has paid off in spades is I replaced one of my GTX 660 ti cards with a G1 GTX 970 by Gigabyte and that puppy ROCKS and runs cool to boot. The non G1 rendition is slightly cheaper but does not cool as well. Anyway, good luck.

Turn up the heat... It sounds like its not hot enough... I run mine as hot as I can get it.

Fyi people, if your system is already overheating this isn't going to stop it! You need to open it up, clean it and inspect to ensure your internal fans still work.

Check and see if the fan is running - may be overheating and shutting down.

I am starting to have problems too, my computer is getting over heated and shuts down. As to your case, how long have you left it on the charger without usage?

I have not had any issues with overheating. This is my 2nd Acer computer. The first I retired after 8 years mainly because it is much larger and heavier. If you are careful about where you use your computer you should be fine. What I mean by that is the computer needs air flow all around it. Not good to sit it on a pillow or blanket. Your lap is good or of course a table. I build and repair computers as a home business. This is were I have learned these details.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

Try Restricting airflow, this will help heat the area. Like cover some off the screen cover ect....

Hi Larry, it looks like you ain't got a cloue on how this thing works! Just follow instructions and take the machine off the heat after it stops gurgeling.- Everything will be alright...the General...

Update drivers for your graphics card, make sure you graphics card can pull over 144 frames. Run furmark, if your computer overheats then you're in big trouble.

it should do just fine. if you experience overheating get you a little cooling fan for it.

I wouldn't worry about overheating unless you are doing an enormous amount of shredding at one time. I use a Shredder Lubricant Sheet (just run one through the shredder and it lubricates and makes it run smoother and more efficiently) once a month and the machine runs very smoothly without overheating.

I have incurred the same issue. What has worked for me is before turning unit on, make sure the heater and temp control are off. Once the fan starts moving, then turn on the heat and temp.

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself. Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

I am sorry I can't help you. I have used this item for warming and for cooling; it never gave me any trouble.
