The card will slow execution cycles if over-dissipating. Short of capriciously modifying the BIOS, you should be safe. Try running Furmark and notice the hiccups in the thermal graph and the FPS slow-down. That's the protection coming into play. Make sure that the case ventilation iis optimized if you want maximum performance. John Lewis
