I doubt the card has protection in that sense since I doubt VRM would be allowed to hit 110C+.

Besides, nothing that is in the installation manual is out of line in terms of proper installation. Unfortunately, I have two Komodo blocks and now a dead card for which I can show that paste method does not work. The uneaven thickness of the block, height of stanoffs, etc., all play a part and when you are dealing with measurements as small as fractions of a millimeter something being off by 0.1mm or 0.2mm or more is significantly off. I will have the pictures up very soon with some data. It's unfortunate I had to sacrifice a card to get this.
Dude, that freaking sucks to hear man, that is a ton of money wasted, and I am sure you are very unhappy, especially seeing as BFBC2 is out now and is epic and you can't even play it... However, I haven't had any troubles out of mine, and getting absolutely great temps... I followed the instructions to a T and everything has worked flawlessly... I ran furmark with the exact specs you wanted me to run it and my temps didn't ever get out of hand, so I don't know what to tell ya man...

It would be cool if gabe would throw his insight in on this and maybe give you a helping hand.
