It can overheat with a waterbock because it's not blowing air over the capacitors like a fan.
I would try underclocking the memory and stock clock the GPU.

Why not try with another miner?
Greetings all,
Feels good to back in the best community of all time! Just started mining again with my Asus-5850 gpu and have been running into a small problem that I figured may be a simple fix.
Using GuiMiner v2012-11-18 I start off by getting around 280 mhash/s with a modest overclock. I'll come back to my computer after a while (sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes a couple hours) and the card utilization drops to practically nothing with about 250 k/hash per second?
I know it's not overheating and shutting itself off as the gpu is watercooled and runs at a sweet 25-27 degrees Celsius all times.
Anyone know what might be going on here?
Thanks for taking a look!

*** UPDATE ***
Upon monitoring GUIMiner more closely, I have noticed that this problem appears to happen every 15-20 minutes or so? Have to restart the miner continuously defeating the purpose of mining in the first place. Help a brother out here?
*** UPDATE ***
Upon further monitoring, it looks like it decided to stop dedicating full resources after the block was solved and a new block was started?
