    what i am wondering with this poll, is if everyone Overclocked GPU suffer random shutdown problems when playing.

    I would also like, Who has a Overclock GPU above 810-820Mhz and still had not shut the Games, Send a Photo of Your Video Card, specifically how the photo below
    [​IMG]

    what i am wondering about that?

    I tried Several ways to solve this problem and so far unsolved.
    I'm wanting more data, what do I have now are several assumptions.

    This moment in my laptop completely apart, I removed the entire folder from ASUS Thermal (a type of chewing gum) I'll try to mount it in a planned way, to see if it will have some influence.

    Thank you.

    Overclocks have limits. You can only overclock a card to a certain extent before the card itself requires more juice to be able to run at what you set it to and if it cannot get hold of the juice the only other option is for it to become unstable and either crash or stop responding.

    The only way to solve this problem would be to raise the voltage which you cant do with your card.

    Each and every card will be different and have didn't overclock limits some better than others, some amazing, some not at all. If you are struggling to overclock any higher simply that is your limit.
