Yeah, I thought so too which is why I tested it again with the cpu at 3.80 Ghz. The marginal increase I got seems to indicate otherwise. And yes, in FurMark the gpu got to 90⁰ C with the default fan profile, and around 80-85⁰ C in CoD. I know it’s most likely OK to run this high, but 75⁰ C just seems a bit more sane

It's running very well if you ignore the horizon ...
