Hello,
When I was playing Crysis a month or so ago, I noticed that it became unstable even at very low overclocks. It crashed even at a 40 mHz core bump and 0 memory bump so I ended up playing at stock clocks, and it worked pretty well. At the end during the last battle it crashed multiple times though. I got busy afterwards and haven't had time to muck with it but I got tired of studying for finals today and tried out furmark. I've attached a picture of my GPU-Z stats after an hour; they pretty much didn't vary for the last 55 minutes of the test. I notice that my memory temps are hovering around that 85 degree figure that I saw tossed around during a google search. Is that likely to be the cause of my instability? If it is, I'm thinking of dremeling out a second fan slot above the VRAM and putting a small fan it. I already have a 120 mm fan positioned directly over the gpu itself, and it seems to be doing a good job of keeping the core cool. Thoughts?
