    I'm having a bit of a dillema and I would like your input on it.
    While im stability testing the cards, Furmark shows my temps climbing to 74 degrees then the fans go full blast and it slowly creeps to 80ish degrees and holding steady.
    But Everest and Hwmonitor and Gpu-z all show me a whopping 104 degrees.
    The fans go full blast when they are reporting around 95 degrees :confused: .
    Now im inclined to go with Furmark since that would be more plausable but Everest Hw and Gpu-z have usually been very reliable and since they are reporting all around the same high temps im starting to have doubts.
    I dont know what the shutdown temps for the 260m's are but im sure 104 must be pretty close to it.
    So what do you think, false readings or some serious egg frying cards.
