Hi there!

Does the GTX 960 SC have VRM temp sensors? In GPU-Z I am not getting any infos at the moment.

Regards!

    I've never seen a VRM sensor for any Nvidia card, not even for the high end cards.

    You can pray but there's no need to. If there's a manufacturing flaw that will cause a failure, which happens but rarely yet does happen, it will fail with or without a VRM sensor or IR thermometer.
     
    Good thing EVGA has an excellent warranty.
     
    Also, for $14 (at least for today) you can get a non-contact IR thermometer if it is bothering you that much.

    I am planning on replacing the stock cooler with an accelero extreme and want to make sure I don't worsen the temps of VRM. That is the whole reason for my question.

    Thanks for your advice!
