I replaced the thermal tape under my heat sink with AS Ceramique instead of the thermal tape that is on from the factory. I did this about 2 months ago and during normal pc usage, the video card sits at around 60C. Today I finally got around to playing COD4 and my screen started artifacting. I immediately check the vid themp and it was 105C and this was with the cards fan set at 100%. Is it plausible that the stock cooler isn't making enough contact since the thermal grease is thinner than the thermal tape.
I'm tempted to pull off the cooler and put quite a bit more thermal compound on and see if that makes a difference.
