The Official Battlefield 3 370z Platoon

I disabled Crossfire and tried it on a single card and had it crash on me after about 15 minutes or so.

I guess I need to do some more temperature testing to see how hot the cards or CPU are getting. Probably a good idea to make sure my BIOS is up to date as well. If it's not temperature related I think it might be the ATI drivers... in which case I get to play around with testing previous versions. Fun.

I don't have a spare sound card laying around so I'll have to play deaf during testing.
