Thanks for the info. The PSU was in the system when I got it (traded a 360). The 5850 is the Gigabyte Overclocked Edition with 765/1000 and I've pushed it a little further than that (but have since returned it to stock) same with the CPU.
I had the 635 at 3.1GHz (a modest OC, for sure) with a...
I've been offered a XFX 6970, but want to double check that my power supply can handle the card.

Voodoo 3 (which I gave away to a user here on [H], I hope it's enjoy a nice life!) was the shit, at least to me. Got home, dropped that bad boy into my rig and played Longbow 2 for hours. 3dfx + LB2 = teh goodness.
LOL - wow - blast from the past. I had a Voodoo 3 up until last year when I gave it away in the Freebies thread.
Still have several P3 CPUs (and one Abit motherboard). If I ever get to feeling nostalgic I'll throw it all together. Good to see some great (old) hardware put to use!
Mine does this as well.. and I know the temps aren't that high. CPU @ 52C according to CoreTemp and GPU anywhere from 65-70 in MSI Afterburner. Rig and overclock in sig. Now that I see someone else's PC is doing the same thing, I may look into getting another PSU.
I have another set of PCI-e...
In no particular order:
Longbow & Longbow 2 (almost any Jane's sim from that era)
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Fallout 3
Battlefield Series
Rainbow 6 / Rogue Spear / Ghost Recon
GTA: San Andreas
My Gigabyte 5850 is factory overclocked and the only time I've seen it artifact is when I pushed it higher. (Something like 800+, if I remember, the factory settings are 765/1000). At the moment I'm running the card at 770/1000 with no problems.
However...
After I first got the card I tried...
Found the problem.. the fan, on the card, next to the I/O plate isn't spinning all the way up. After I got the side panel off I could hear it rattling, will have to rig something up to fix that. The second fan is working fine though.
Thanks for the help/info.
I have a Gigabyte 5850 OC (factory overclocked to 765/1000). Playing BF3 @ 1920x1200 on "High" settings, I've seen temps. hit 93C. Doesn't stay there, but not sure at what point I should start freaking out.
At 100% fan (using MSI Afterburner), temps are 80-85C.
Idle is 45-47C.
