There are some ways of wiring it up to where they both start and stop at the same time. I have done this before but it will void any warranty whatsoever. Do you have a friend with a decent system you could test it in. Running below stock clocks is definitely not a long term solution but as a previous post said the VRM might be weak or dying, does the card make any squealing noise under heavy load? My gtx 480 does during OC scanners that run 6000 fps but i don't use those for that reason. If it squeals alot under heavy load without a voltage bump/super high clocks it probably the VRM crying and might be the problem. I think the PSU and rest of the system is fine but to be sure another system would rule out ALOT of what it could be.
BTW mine squeals because its @980MHz @ 1.152 volts with the VRM @ 427 MHz.
At stock there should be no squeals.
Hey Flibolito, how do you know what speed your VRM is at? What program are you using to monitor it?
