460 too hot?

I was playing BF3 for about 30 mins and then the screen got all choppy with white squares, and froze.

Is this "Artifacting" ?

I'm going to run another go with a fan on end of the gpu I just installed and see how it goes,

Idle without fan: 54c

With fan: 46c

I have dual 460's clocked at 845mhz and 2000mhz memory.

With Furmark it gets near 100C. 95C was the highest recorded so far.

Dont worry, your good. I believe 105C was its max threshold and itll start throttling down?

Okay, I get artifacting, and I get a max temp of 75c in Battlefield 3, so I'm going to crank it down to 800mhz and see if that solves the artifacting.

I would rather not pump the volts if I dont have to, :D

Artifacting is usually a sign of an unstable VRAM overclock, which you very well could have. I remember my 460s broke loose around 2080 MHz without extra VRAM voltage.
