Did you use the larger sinks on the vrm's bud?
The L shape ones on the long strip or the square ones surrounding the gpu?

Gelly54 the l shape larger ones on the long row of vrms matt shows on his picture
Did you use the insulation strips Gelly?
Like these?
Also Gelly make sure that no heatsink is touching the main baseplate of the cooler. Its possible the bottom vram one might touch the main heatsink if not positioned incorrectly.
I've got to go to bed now Gelly will be back in the morning to help if you need it mate.

Hate to say it thats what happened to mine as you know the larger l shape sinks are to tight a fit, i did the same thing using the insulation tape and larger sinks to but when trying to start the card would only spin up for a split second and when the card was removed the pc would run fine then on the second attempt the card gave out a puff of smoke' luckily i was able to rma i then just followed the accelero guide using permanent adhesive on the vrm's which are a beter fit.
Yeah same problem as you. Damn it! (although no cloud of smoke) should have just followed the instructions with it. RMA it is then. LtMatt could you send me them pads please?
