Is to RMA?

Well it is and I dont think they well class it as faulty if I send it back.

I think they will. Tell them it's crashing at 70 degrees, and see what they say. That's likely a faulty heatsink installation.

If bought from OCUK as far as i am aware they will still hold warranty if you remove the heatsink
You could always try removing it & reapplying some thermal paste.

I have the same MSI card, removing the heatsink is just the 4 main screws on the bottom, you don't need to remove anything else, the black metal plating is separate. It's probably the easiest graphics card heatsink to remove

Didn't realise it was that easy.

Might put some liquid metal on there!

Best to double check but I'm pretty sure OCUK customers are still covered so you can ignore that sticker
