At stock everything, FurMark gets it above 108° and it's game over. I increased the speed of the fan from 60% to 100% (like see below), but still it gets above 108° after 7 minutes and you know what happens.
Besides buying a new cooler, I mean isn't this thing supposed to pass FurMark at stock with fan on 100%?

EDIT: I had a PCI sound card installed directly next to the video card, effectively blocking air circulation into the video card, after taking it out, max temperatures dropped from 108° crash temps to 76° C. So guys, don't install any cards next to your video card, pass the word.
If you have PCI cards, switching your video card to the other slot is a must.
When you do and reboot ATi will complain that the drivers are not installed. No need to install new drivers, just make sure you only have your primary monitor connected. Disconnect the other one if you have it connected (to avoid confusing ATi and reducing the max resolution).
Now simply allow ATi to complain & detect for a minute, then reboot & all should be well again.
EDIT2: ... except if you have a bottom mounted PSU, then putting the video card in the other slot just substitutes the PSU blocking air circulation vs, PCI card blocking it. My solution is only to take the PCI card out since I can't even mount the side fan because my Thermalright heatsink is so huge.
