Good morning. I have just built a new gaming machine. When I play Crysis I see what I believe is artifacts. They show up about 30 mins of playing. I ran I video card stress test and got 88C for the card and 65C for the Cpu. Is this a normal temp? Do I need to cool my case better? If so how?

You should bump up fan speed of the card itself. Try Rivatuner.

Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion with no luck. I did hear the fan speed up but it did that automatically before. Anybody else?
