hia so ive currently got my MSI 580 lightning extreme 3GB OC @ 970 core 1940 shader and 2150 memory clock., with 100+mV on core V.

she runs like a dream.

however to try and minimize noise i locked fan speed @ 50 % and in my playtime of BF3 the temp didn't exceed 80 degrees. however when doing this the card resets to default clocks at some point in game, and im prompted with display driver has crashed and been restored etc.

could this be down to a air flow/temp issue due to the fact the card isn't getting enough airflow.

GPU temp doesn't exceed 80 but could it be a memory temp issue and the card is throttling back?

thanks

Why not just increase your maximum fan speed level (disregarding sound level at this point), monitor temps and see if it makes any difference?

With my first 7950 I was getting the same type of message 'display driver crashed etc' but believe it was possibly not enough core volts.

ye with the fan speed up it doesn't crash.

only temp i can monitor is core though which doesn't exceed 80. quite happy with that temp as reference cards at much lower speeds exceed 80 easy.

any other monitor software i can use to monitor memory temps etc??

cheers for response BTW mate.
