After being farted about for several days I cancelled my order, and went for the gainwood 8800GT and slightly different memory (OCZ PC6400 platinum)

So my final build consists of

Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Gainwood 8800GT
4GB OCZ PC6400 platinum
XP Pro

Done a little clocking and benchmarked in 3dmark 06

Stock speeds of

2.66GHZ and 600/900/1500 = 10642

CPU Clocked;

3.28GHZ and 600/900/1500 = 11784

CPU and GFX Clocked at;

3.28GHZ and 700/1000/1750 = 13114

Stock voltages at the moment and CPU hits 65 under load and the GFX card 72.

Althou when playing the crysis demo for nearly 2 hours I was greeted with a random artifact and after a quick Alt+Tab speedfan was reporting my GPU temperature @ 95oC :O

Sound about right guys?

speed fan is a load of crap for giving accurate readouts, i'd go with core temp for CPU and ati tool, or river tuner for GPU
 
I have been using core temp for my CPU :)

ATI tool wont work for some reason, had rivatuner on there but decided to clock the gpu with ntune in the end. All readings in each of the software were the same :)
 
you should drop your GPU clocks down if your artifacting, thats a sign the card is either clocked too high or running too hot, either sort out the cooling, or clock it down, or both! Dont want to fry the most expensive part of the computer!

Nice clocks on the GTX regardless, mine has the HR-03 cooler on it, and I cant get it over 653 / 1581 / 900. the memory literally wont budge off stock before artifacting! must have a duff card for OCing
 
What case do you have and how many fans do you use?

A lot of hot air can build up around the bottom of the case when playing something as heavy on GFX cards as Crysis.

Try another game and ramp up the settings to see what temps you get then. Also check the cooler is not wobbling on the GFX. Does it have the stock cooler on or have you changed it?

Is your exhaust fan on full when gaming? Install ntune on your system. At least then if the GFX hits 125c+ it will shut it down.

And maybe change the 3rd word in on your post. Not sure if its classed as swearing but always good to be safe than sorry ;)

Hi have a Lian Li PC0700

pc_0700_lian_li.jpg


Has two front akasa 80mm fans, one stock 80mm exhaust with the stock grill removed. Another 80mm (akasa again I think) mounted on the side window blowing on the Ram. 2 Fans on the PSU (hyper 580w thing) and one on the GPU and CPU. The only managed fans are the GPU and CPU fans. I have since romped the GPU fan upto 50% from stock, I dont it was ever audiable (>50%) so fairly convinced it never 'kicked in'....
 
Have you got ntune installed?

Its a good app to control the speed of your GFX Fan.

You can also manually ramp it up.
 
ATI tool wont work for some reason, had rivatuner on there but decided to clock the gpu with ntune and control the GPU fan :)
