Extreme overheating, msi 6950

[teamqball]

Ok so I just got an msi 6950 2gb and I had a bit of tx-2 left over from my previous components so I applied it and my card is going over 100c on furmark!! What the hell!

The fan is working well and I applied a reasonable amount of paste, I think with tx-2 the amount of paste is less critical anyway, any thing else that could be wrong?

Yup all the screws are in and at pretty similar pressure. This is really weird.

My friend is saying maybe I didn't use enough paste! Ahhhh I am confused.
