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?

COOLER MASTER COSMOS 1000 CASE
EVGA GX2 SUPERCLOCKED VIDEO CARD
E8500 CORE 2 CPU
XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler
MUSHKIN RAM 2X2G
2 RAPTERS 36G
1 WD CAVIER 500G

I have installed all the fans I can in the case and have also installed the video card duct. Thanmks for any help.

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?
