Ok So I found out why my 290x suddenly cant OC. My vrm 1 is hitting 109c within about 30 seconds of running furmark with only the core oc'd to 1150. So It's currently running the 15 min burn on at stock speeds, just under half way done and it's at 78c. I have the kraken g10 with a h55 on my gpu, added the Gelid heatsink pack, vrm 2 stays around 68c. right now running furmark at stock those are the temps, my gpu is at 71c. First I guess I'll make sure those numbers (gpu) sound right for that cooler. Secondly is there anything I should do about my vrm1? reseat using my own thermal compound instead of what Gleid provided? will it actually stay attached if I do that though? Thanks.
