Have a new system. About 3 weeks old.
Did a minor overclock to 4.2 ghz.
Stress tested with both Prime95 and Intelburntest.
No issues.
Temps never topped 65'c running tests, and average 48'c while gaming.
Built custom fan profile in MSI-Afterburner, and video card runs 55'c or below while gaming normally. Because of this fan profile and the high CFM case fans... it runs a little loud.
Been gaming regularly on it since it was built and tested. No issues until today.
Was replaying Metro 2033. About an hour into playing the game screen froze and 'artifacts' fractured across the screen. At the same time there was a noticeable 1-2 second decrease in fan noise. Sounded like either the gpu fan or the case fans stopped (but not both). But after those 2 seconds everything was running fine again.
I forced closed Metro and quickly checked temps. Everything looked normal. The computer was not sluggish and everything else looked fine......
Should i be concerned?
