It could be that the amount of available amps on the rail is at its bitter end of stability. Hooking a seperate psu frees the card to use up the extra amps that are possibly needed for those few more mhz.

Have you tried to see if the original psu/gpu combo scales under colder conditions?

Yes it could be... but i dont think that the card could draw as much as 29 amps
