http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_virus "A power virus is a malicious computer program that executes specific machine code in order to reach the maximum CPU power dissipation (thermal energy output for the central processing unit). Computer cooling apparatus are designed to dissipate power up to the Thermal Design Power, rather than maximum power, and a power virus could cause the system to overheat; if it does not have logic to stop the processor, this may cause permanent damage."
OCCT is not malicious code.
The wiki entry even makes a distinction between a power virus and a stability program in that a stability program is directly under user control. And OCCT is.
It has not been proven that this causes the GPU to overheat, rather what people suspect is that OCP is being reached, or degradation of an inductor has occurred shutting down the graphics card. Thereby heat is not the main issue.
^^ this is the hypothesis under question though more broadly it is why this has ocurred.
You have not contributed a single piece of data, nor have you augmented the hypothesis and analyzed the results. Your only conclusion is that this is caused by temperature(because you cited power virus), which is wrong.
You're useless, and blatantly lying so you're absolutely worthless. Destroying you is fun.
