It is a bit hot, what cpu cooler/case/fans do you have? If you've already maxed your cooling solution (or budget) then no real choice but to take the oc down a bit I'm guessing the temp drop to 65 is just your fans kicking in, but 65 is still on the high side.Jenspm wrote:
Ok, it's stable at 3.22GHz, but for some reason it's way too hot now. 70*c load.
How can I lower the temps?
edit - no wait, now the temps show 65*c....

Wait what. CPU instability does not cause artifacts, it causes BSODs or crashes. GPU overheating or excessive clocks cause artifactsJenspm wrote:
well, 3.22GHz gave me artifacts in 3dmark, so I put it down to 3GHz. It now idles at ~44*c, so it should be good.
I think I'll keep it there, tbh. Should I go down on any voltages?
Now for the RAM - is there a way to check the temps? If not, how do I know when I've "gone to far"?
About case cooling - I have 1x120mm intake and 1x120mm exhaust + 120mm exhaust from PSU. I'll need to do some ghettomodding to get more fans in there. I have an Antec Sonata 2, if anyone has any ideas, post 'em.

Putting it down to 3GHz made it work, at least

Idles at 44C? That's pretty hot. My computer idles at about 32 in this hot weather, but is more like 28 in regular weather.

Actually, I'm now pretty sure that it's the GFX that's faulty.haffeysucks wrote:

I've had quite a few artifacts before (in CSS, Windows Media Center, etc), where a re-start was the only thing that fixed it. I've always blamed Vista, but I've now concluded that I need a new GFX card.
I've the 4850/70 is cheap, I'll get that, if not, I'll go for a 3870.
Anyway, back to 3.22GHz

Sounds like overheating. What are your temps on load?Jenspm wrote:

I don't get this...
I get artifacts every time I run the graphics tests on 3dmark @ 3.22GHz, but never elsewhere. I also only get a 100point 3dmark CPU boost (compared to 3GHz).
I've gotten occasional artifacts in wierd programs before (like WMC, etc), but a re-start always helps. However, I get artifacts in the graphics tests of 3dmark every time.
