I know the VRM have very high temperature rating but I wanna know what is the normal VRM temperature in our country/similar temperature ambient and what is the safe range for 24/7 VRM temperature?

I'm currently under 1.15v for 900 core and 1075 memory core , over 1100 memory will give me artifact , guess i have bad memory for this gc? and the temp are 60+ for core and 90+ for VRM under furmark stablity test.

seeing this temp dont really dare to oc ald, but many people saying that, in gaming even full detail you hardly go to the hardware demand of furmark, try other benchamark?

1. The card is meant to work correctly and flawlessly under the stock cooler despite the high VRM temps. If it dies off, you can claim warranty.

2. Overclock is not guaranteed so if you overclock above 1100 and start getting artifacts, it doesn't mean the card is not good.

3. When you overclock and involve in supplying more voltage, things will get hot so you need to improve your cooling to gain extra head room to overclock even more. That is when we invest on after market coolers or water cooling.
