FAH cannot demand too much from a GPU. Both nVidia and AMD warrant that their GPU will be stable with the recommended cooling at non-overclocked speeds (leaving 1 through 3). If 4 is true for you, get a RMA for your GPU. (NOTE: Factory overclocking is still overclocking, which is also a case for a factory RMA.)

In some cases, Core_21 may be more efficient than previous cores but "I've always been able to get away with this much overclock without improving the cooling" bypasses any consideration of the warranty.

Maybe under US law, less than sure about that in the UK, I suspect caveat emptor would apply. Especially after 18 months!

Other questions would be off-topic, PM sent.
