"The card is currently under going stress testing, at the moment it is in furmark, and even in this the max temperature it reaches is 88 degrees, well below the max temperatures allowed,
88C stock clocks @ 1.05v : /
That is odd, mine was hitting 95 etc and they confirmed a fault within 24 hours of receiving it. I mean my card was hitting 95 and throttling itself at times it was throttling itself at 60 which was odd... though hmm...
I understand something will have its operating limits but when something is absurdly hot compared to the average temp of the same card there is clearly a fault.
What was happening with mine was though I could be stressing it with furmark for an hour and it would only hit 71 degrees, I could stop furmark let the card cool down for 10 or so minutes... re stress and suddenly it would top out at 95 and throttle.
I actually just contacted OCUK through webnote and they said they will refund my shipping costs (That was like 30 days ago)
