    GPUZ makes the sensors spike!

    i have asus 780ti dc2oc for 2 months now, gpuz always showed me spiked readings for the VRM. sometimes low as -216c and high as 460c. i thought this is normal or a bad sensor.. after testing the VRM temp using ONLY HWiNFO, i found out there were no spikes in reading the temps. i have to say that...

    should i bios update the asus 780ti dc2oc? (see pic)

    yea i also updated... (cmd opens and close... and your done) i really wish TechPowerUp would done the thermal Cam on this card, someone just have to image the VRMs temps and ask Asus if its supose to generate such heat.
