    I have been using these clocks 625 925 1550 for like 3 months without any problems. But all of a sudden in Crysis and Crysis Warhead, i have been getting black screens and driver failures, this includes crysis wars as well. I have tried installing 182.06 and still no avail.

    My temps have been getting hotter than usual. I think this might have to do with the temperature getting hotter here in NYC. Or maybe i just finally gotta get me a NZXT cooler.

    What do you guys think.

    COME on NBR crew...i need ya help

    Definitely overheating. Back off of the OC until you get back to a better environment of get a cooler.

    kk Ayle...at first i thought it was that my GPU cannot handle the clocks then i remembered that it is like 75C Fahrenheit. Ah well... I am going to build another custom cooler. Then i'll re OC.
