So haris5sani, this is probably going to be a stupid question, but im going to ask it anyway. You said you installed the Intel Stock HSF and used some roadside TIM, now did you remove the preapplied TIM from the stock HSF before applying the aftermarket TIM? Otherwise two diff TIMs of different viscosity might have created a thermal interface nightmare causing your high temps.

Also, you are using a cabinet with a 80mm exhaust. Then you buy a card that gets really hot, and although you are right, that the IceQ X cooler will reduce the GPU core temps by 10-15 degrees (in theory) it uses an axial fan, that will exhaust the hot air *into* your case, and not exhaust it out.

So you are increasing ambients inside your case like crazy, using an (IMHO) shitty cabinet with NO intake and a piss-poor 80mm exhaust fan, no wonder your rig is overheating.

I would highly suggest get a case with better airflow, in addition to your TX3.
