    Let me say it again.
    If the card, assuming it's in a normal, properly ventilated case, and not in ambient temperatures outside of it's operating range, is overheating - it is faulty.  The cooler is not working properly, or it is not making proper contact with the GPU.
    Faulty.  Not working.  Damaged.  Broken.  Flawed.  Malfunctioning.
    I just don't understand the mentality of spending easily the cost of a new card on "fixing" the problem, vs. getting a replacement card from the manufacturer under warranty.

      Yes.  I can see the logic.  Spending a few hundred dollars for no gains.
      Oh wait ...
      I'm done, good luck.

        You got two pages of people giving their honest and knowledgeable opinion, which you seem not to like. No need to post like what we call a "prat" here where I live.

          You didn't see a lot of posts, then.
          I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

          He came on here, asked "should I water cool this card?", got told "NO!" by people who know what they are talking about and who gave reasons, he rudely called this "no help", and now he seems set to carry on. Justinupsm, why did you bother asking?

          He needs somebody to blame if things go wrong. All he needs is that one person giving a resounding yes and he's off to the races.

              Well to be fair, he didn't ask IF he should water cool.  He said he was  GOING to water cool and wanted suggestions for water cooling systems.  Doesn't matter if we think he should or not.
