    How can you tell if your V-RAM is overheating?

    I re-applied my thermal compound recently. When I put the heat-sink back over the video card, I forgot to make sure the thermal pads were correctly aligned over the V-RAM. Now I am really paranoid over every texture pop-in or graphical oddity I see, even if they are probably normal. If anyone could tell me the signs and symptoms of overheating V-RAM it would be appreciated.

    (Also I'm not sure if I posted this twice, I tried a few minutes ago and something went wrong so I am reposting)

    How can you tell if you clicked "post new thread" twice?

    You can try running ATItool and scan for artifacts.

    I'll try that. I've run Furmark with no problems in the way of artifacting or anything like it.
