Saints Row the Third Crash Issues

If you need a good cheap cooler, go for This.

True but I'm going for sure numbers. I've been building / help build PC's with / for friends for about umm, around 10 / 12 years now? I've dealth with, overclocked, soldered, troubleshooted, driver hacked and more a whole bunch of CPU's / GPU's, and these numbers are what I feel are "safe". Enough overclockers' forums say much the same often, especially for people that don't have so much experience messing with vcore voltages etc. - play it safe.

Sure, some cards seem built to bake eggs on, damn straight. A friend of mine had an umm.. I believe X1600 XT that he kept working @ around 90 - spikes of 105 for a while, happily telling us about how it just worked, no worries. About 6 months later he had a catastrophic full failure. Crash to black, no more screen.

After scouring the internet for some time for a fix, (due to many people OC-ing the card due to it being a good "bang-for-your-buck" card at the time, a lot of people had similar issues) he found an exotic one. He went into the kitchen, pre-heated the oven at a specific temperature (I forget what precisely) and put the vid card in, on a glass base. Few minutes later, he had a working card again.

He kept this cycle of death // bake // death // bake up some time before the card finally died full. It was like Hinduism for GPU's.
