Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The large hike in load temp tells me that your card is being stressed to its limit in that "little" OC from XT to XTPE so I'd say stick some better cooling on that thing if you are going to be OCing.
72 celcius is higher than I'd want MINE but I hear gpus can handle up to 90 celcius before it goes critical.
wtf????? 21c increase from stock to overclock??? what are u pumping large amounts of volts in it or wut???? but 72 is fine lol...you must've recorded the stock temp totally wrong.....
Well, the box I am using is only a few days old lol. The Artic Silver 5 might not have set in yet. It's very possible. I just used ATiTool to see what I could push it to with the Zalman on it. It works really well. Super quiet, great performance. Maybe I will try again in a few days and see what happens.
