Overheating ? what temperature ? are the artifacts just on 1 game if so which is it or different games ? also have you tried a different cable to connect your monitor also maybe try a different monitor if you have another you could use to try.

the highest temp is 75C. its all different games skyrim, bf3 and SR3. i dont have another monitor :( and i dont have another cable.. i think its the ram chips that are over heating. thats what the guy said last time..

75C is not hot for a GTX580 even in the high 80's can be normal depending on the games and settings so that rules out the GPU overheating.

Is your system overclocked and what ram have you got ? also have you tried overclocking anything yourself on that system ?

i done a auto overclock to 4.20GHz(it was in the bios.) the idle temps are high 20s to low 30s... the ram is at 1600HMz

If those idle temps are for either the CPU or GPU they are good, i am no expert on ram but i would not have thought the 1600MHz ram would overheat think you might be best giving PCS a call.

They are cpu. i actually removed my coolit eco because i kept thinking it would leek, i installed a hyper212+. the GPU idle temps are around 35-40C.

Well your temps are running very similar to mine on both CPU and GPU idle and while gaming for the GPU, have you checked your CPU when gaming just to make sure that is not overheating with the OC.

Hello! im back. I have been using the HDMI cable 6 days now and it seems to have fixed it :D I really cant understand how the DVI cable could have been doing this.. but its gone now :)

Thank you very much.
