My card seems to be randomly crashing at 2d clocks with temps of ~30C and will pass atitool/game testing at 3d clocks all day long.

So, the only problem i can think of is the voltage regulators overheating. just wondering before, i go purchase some extra ramsinks, what are the symptoms of vrm overheating? Also, should a standard stress test reveal problems with vrm temps?

Thanks.
 
Did you mod the card, such as changing the cooler?
If not, I suggest you to check if there's any gap between the cooler and the VRM's. Because VRM overheating problems are very rare with reference cards.
 
:rolleyes: You got to be way off there...They are not going to fail when they are not doing any work, and work fine when working hard at full load !

Nothing is impossible but how did You arrive at this conclusion ?
