Just bought a V7100 2vid and have had lots of probs with it. From go it would not run more than 5mins without crashing due to overheating (even on low usage such as email, surfing). (admittedly a contributing factor to this was NO case cooling in an "old" PII-400 system.
To cut a long story mercifully short, a case fan helped, and I just bought a blue orb, which in conjunction with the case fan should do the trick. On removal of the orig heatsink I noticed what appears (to me) to be inadequate spread of thermal paste between the heatsink & the GPU.
Unfortunately none of the asus diagnostics work on my system (error messages) so I cannot quantify any of the above except to say "didn't used to work, now it does."
Hmm, that is NOT what you want cooling your card in this heat..
