I just bought a Palit GTS 250 and last night I was messin around with Precision and here are my Clocks.... 770 Core, 1663 Shader, 1032 Memory. (Standard is 700, 1500, 900). I did a few test runs last night with rthdribl_1_2 and everything worked fine at 16x Multisample and 1920x1080. Afterwards I looked at Precision and noticed my fan was only peaked at 70% at 60 Celsius so today I kept all the same clocks and boosted my case fans up to 1000 RPM and GPU fan to 100% and ran it again to see how cool I could run it and about 1 minute in the card quit, displaying green only. So, can a fan cause the GPU to fail? If not what could have? Because thats a very minor OC, I think some companies come stock at 750 with this card.

The card can take that, have you updated the card's Drivers recently? If so, check for an update to EVGA Precision as well

yes, they are both up to date, ill try a different benchmark and let you know what happens

tried furmark?

That's a weird thing to happen, regardless.

E-Green Edition, right?

Are the Drivers you have fresh and clean, IE: previous drivers properly swept/cleaned away and not just over-install?

Also this is a really dumb question, but your 6-pins, do you have more on the one rail than the other? Seems you got one +12v @17A, and the second @20A and they're modular fittings? Is there more of a load on one rail where the card's 6-pin is going?

never thought of that, so you're saying I could be underpowered? That actually makes sense now, I'll look into it, gunna try to change drivers first, thanks for the ideas guys
