one thing you can do to lower card temps. if you haven't done.

Is take all the PCI slots out of the case... granted, this can also have a negative effect if... it sucking the air it shoots out. But just an idea.

I always have an air can handy to blow stuff away.

I actually had the fan off for my new heatsink/fan and it still crashed.

The fan does make a huge difference.

 

So far, it seems the thermal grease is the killer.
