I am not monitoring those, no program such as RiverTuner is detecting the device. My case is tidy.
Thanks.
please use this app to monitor your card temperatures while gaming (especially when its about to artifact)

make sure you clear as many wires away from the card as possible, this will improve case airflow..... how many case fans do you have, & where are they positioned..??
also removing the case side panel is not good long term, especially when its powered up..... the electrical charge will attract dust straight onto your components & further hamper cooling.
lets make sure its not airflow before we move onto the card & PSU..
