Damn, I found it is "fan" related. Setting it @85% let me to go last test (with freeze ).

Is my GTX580 damn bad or do I have a temp. problem?

This is the screenshot from NVIDIA Inspector:




I think I have found the reason. @1.05V as in the screenshot it goes @95°C after 5 min. of stress test.

So the question is: is the stock cooler so bad?
Not every 580 clocks @ 950 with only 1.025v...

Mine goes up to 875 with 1.025v (stock volts)
After that I think I will have to raise voltage, I'm on an Accelero Xtreme Plus so I can handle a little more voltage without problems.
