stock cooler? Did you change thermal paste recently? Have you tried playing a game and seeing load temps?

You see... I cant change the thermal paste. Two of the screws for the cooler are stripped to hell (I was going to install ACX 2.0 on it). I could easily get the heads off and remove the screws. My dad is being very ignorant about it and will not let me use the tools... I even showed him that it wont matter if I scratch the PCB there because there is nothing in that area. I may just have to pop them out when he is not home and put the new cooler on. I would assume that this is the issue. Maybe this can be a reason to have to get the screws out.

Tell him if you dont get the screws out and reseat that cooler properly that it could be very damaging to such a very expensive piece of hardware

 

Or hire a secret agent to extract the tools and then carefully get the screws out, then report back to you

Load only went to 80... that is very cool for the Titan. Fans were at lowest speeds, too. So weird.
