Hi adrichardson,

we knew about this "problem" with furmark and we are in contact with AMD about that. The point is that furmark disables the dynamic regulation from the VRMs, so its like you drive a car always in the first gear. In normal games you never reach such temperature levels and loads. We also test it in our lab and got something between 110-120°C (same heatsinks you choose), all run stable.

At which speed level you run the fans? Did you try it at full speed > also unstable?

Kind Regards
Chris
