These #2 and #3 temps are not nessecarily shader and memio temps, i cant seem to be able to have a source for this.
if you have some could you please provide me with some smile.gif

i tho have heard that these are just temps on the chip itself, in different locations.

Ooh... Aida64 reports them as memio and shader core, but I'm not sure if it's right. They are all on the die itself though. I was just wondering... since the OP has the same card as me... and my #2 and #3 are like 10C hotter under load than the #1.
