Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

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?

I take it that they are both the latest versions. I don't know personally because I run Radeon cards as I find them more stable.

Yes I would have to agree. I can't think of anything else I'm afraid. :-\

As long as you are certain it is for the same model card then it should be fine. It is quite common to do it on motherboards.
