I don't think a mad temp sensor can heat up this card, only a mad shrimp is capable to do that

It is known that sometimes there's not an optimal contact between an Arctic Silencer and a GPU. Maybe you should try to RMA that cooler?

Had absolutely nothing to do today,
(and for like the next 12 weeks

So i tried stockcooling again, with somethings that resembled thermalpads on the memory, i thinks it's from an old p4, replaced stockcooling: 60°

I've always had the feeling that it didn't fit wel, couldn't thighten the screws as much as i liked, but since it was a good fit on the core, and the imprint was nearly perfect i thought it was simply a ****ed sensor. The card didn't get as hot as the first time, however it heated up my whole case.

Had to format anyway, vista sucks, and now the temp stays idle around 50°, goes to 70° when gaming, and gets back down to 50° when idle again.

So i guess the extravagant amount of thermal paste did the trick, big minus for AC in my humble opinion, no one would use that amount of goo on their core or cpu.

Nice review (a little late reading it :/)
Now I think to buy a Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 (Rev. 3), the only problem is, I can't find him in Belgium?
(Tones, comtechnology,...)
Do you guys know a shop (with low shipping costs)
