I noticed that while the card should be capable of a lot more than it's putting out, it's also running at just over 500 MHz, all the time. Idle, Under full load. Could this be thermal throttling/a heating problem or what? Also, changing the clock in MSI after burner doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

Edit: I just checked and it actually runs at 299 MHz Idle.
