Now I remember why I watercool!! ;D I have trouble pushing mine much over 40 degrees while running Furmark.

The only thing it reminded me of was graphics memory breaking down. I take it that you are using the latest firmware for the card and have installed the lasted drivers?

Do you have anything else in the PCIE slots?

Post by: DarkRock on January 29, 2011, 04:58:58 pm: it is possible to install the older to the newer bios? Is this a good idea?
