What are you using to get to those temps? My reference 7970 doesn't go over 75c in Furmark.
There's a possibility that the cooler isn't properly seated. What are the idle temperatures?

68 is fine in Furmark, what app were you using to get it to 82/83c?

My lightning crashes at 71c core and 60c for mem and vrm, this is whilst playing sleeping dogs, 10c hotter on core, mem, vrm than anything else i use which includes benchmarks
Getting 150 fps when i dont have AA enabled, the above happened with max AA, gonna try with v sync on to see if it lowers temps, should my card crash at these temps though??

Is your lightning a 7970? Is that relevant to this thread?
Mine gets to 80 when I have poor case airflow, when I have all my fans going in the arc it runs fine but sometimes I forget to turn them up.
I just think it's a bit weird that it always crashes at 83 on the mark, never been higher than that as has always shut itself off, is it a protection thing? Perhaps the VRMs get too hot?

Sorry mate, but kinda relevant yes, and it should make a feel better knowing that mine crashes well before yours!
