GTX660 OEM!

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

My gtx560 cooler fits... But using reference cooler atm

It leta me into bios then freezes... So will attempt to cook it.

I am not sure whether that would be a good idea?? I knew it worked with G80 and G92 based cards,but wasn't that down to how the GPU was attached to the PCB??

Maybe the VRM is overheating??

Edit!!

OTH,I suppose its not like you are loosing any money.

Second Edit!!

What PSU and motherboard are you using??

It was due to the Memory Chips AFAIR and my 8800 Ultra SSC died of it.

The ball grid crap solder method or whatever its called.

Slight risk of poisoning yourself using food oven was claimed (did not think solder contained lead now) so I RMA'd it and EVGA gave me a GTX 260 216 FTW for it.

Sold that and bought a GTX 280 FTW.

I have added new thermal pads to the vrm heataink and new thermal compound to the gpu core.

Its works for a few seconds then freezes.. My phenom 965 is at 3.7 on a cooler mastet seidon 120m with no problems and running avexir core 1600mhz yellow series memory.
