So i have this card
HD577AZNFC

It runs at 81C whist gaming (sim3, Duex Ex, Dead island, and so on) should i be alarmed at this temp idle is around 56C is the card getting ready to crap out. Its only 19months old should i repply paste? The card is about 2.5inchs away from power supply blowing fan upward.

Mine don't idle that high, but they were really hot gaming Saturday night while gaming a few hours. So I popped the lid,to apply some as5 on the gpu, and noticed that I don't have thermal pads on the mem chips. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=686715

So I had some spare chipset pads, put them on the mem chips, and as5 on the gpu. I'm down in the mid forties at idle with Afterburner fan on custom settings..

I did call xfx last week before I messed with them and they stated that it's ok to if you're in North America. I saw the "stickers" on the gpu bracket also. They will not cover physical damage. Like if you knock a component off or scratch/scar the card...
