Does a stock clock/fan 580 usually melt under crysis 2?

So I've upgraded today, had a few games then it crashes. Wondering what the problem was, I noticed it seemed to crash when the temps went above 75 degrees C.

I 've put a fan profile on MSI afterburner to keep the temps about 60-ish at load and stable but now it's like a hurricane, is that normal for stock with this game to have to adjust the fan speed that much?

I got a PNY 580 1.5GB

Sounds pretty normal. Should not be crashing at 75deg though. When you say "stock clock" what is your actual clock speeds and voltage?

They are stock clocks as in a non OC version.

I upped the voltage by 0.05 as someone else explained in another thread and it seemed to do the trick but it's now climbing into the eighties without an afterburner fan profile.

Don't trust it that hot.. or noisy with the fan maxed, might look into a cooler for it tbh.

I started using a fan profile too, the day of the dx11 release i forgot to set my fan manually to max like i used to and nearly killed the poor bastard right there. After that it would overheat then crash while idling cause windows aero was switched on.
I got three exhaust fans in my case two at front one at back, i got a inflow fan too at the side of the case about one inch away from my vanilla 580 that lowers the temps by 10 degrees, secret is to have enough exhaust fans so that when the air is blasted in it doesn't hang around for long.
During the summer i took side of case off and directed a 12" desk fan into it which i done when gamin', now i'm back with the 6" case fan.
Cause your GPU is being utilized completely(at least in SP i'll bet it is) this is why it gets so hot, don't worry though once you get it setup right you won't need to worry about it.
So, ...get your air flow right over the GPU's circuit board or like you say go for an aftermarket fan, thing is you may loose your warranty so this probably ain't the way to go.
When i was workin' with one 580 the core clock was reaching 900Mhz and the voltages were boosted by 0.1 and i remember that before i took side of case off i was reaching for the 80s too, if it gets unstable more don't worry about boosting the volts by 0.06, that's what i'm doin'.
