I have a problem with my new GPU: AMD Radeon Shappire HD 6850. When I stay on the internet, the gpu temperature is about 70C, and when I disconnect my pc, the GPU temperature is about 47C. I can't explain this becouse when I play games as Deus Ex it remains in a low temperature, but every time that I try to conncet to the internet (wi-fi or lan) , the temperature rieses to 70C. What can I do?

I tried with Speedfan, MSI afterburner and GPU-Z, but it's always the same.

you mean that the temps are the same when you use speedfan to set them higher?
It's not a program to reduce your temps automaticly, you need to change the speed yourself.
I know, I mean that they always tell me the same temperatures.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall my drivers, but the temperatures are always 70°-68°.
Today I set my fan to 100% and now it's about 59°, but the GPU usage is about 97% when I am connected and 0% when I am offline.
It's a custom built, the power supply is the iTek Super Silent Power 700W Fan 14cm ATX

Have you tried a different browser? I can't see how that would cause it though.
When you say connected to the internet and offline I assume you mean just by opening and closing the browser and not by disconnecting your modem/router.

I built the computer but the shop told me that they were compatible. I don't think that the standoffs are made by brass, but I'm not sure.
It's not a browser problem, because the gpu usage rises to 97% also if I don't open the browser.

A good 700 watt power supply should have around 50 amps on the 12 volt rail. If the power supply can't output enough amps to power everything weird things will start to happen. The standoffs are usually brass in color.

I don't think I use more than 300W-350W, anyway, now I can't control the standoffs, in my country now is late, I will control tomorrow.

So are you saying the gpu usage only goes down when you disconnect the modem/router?
Exactly.

Hmmm, I'm kinda thinking you may have a grounding issue.
I have never seen it before but a bad ground somewhere may be causing a ground loop that is causing your gpu to go nuts.
As John said, look to see if the stand offs are brass and not plastic first.
