using digidoc... at full load the x800xl is artificting using watercooling block and tweakmonster ramsinks. Cant play even counterstrike 1.6. Getting 65C under load. Using the CPUFX z4 gpu block. Is it the block? Using stock heatsink that came with the vid card im fine. Whats going on?
 
Well what kind of water cooling system? What is your ambient temp...Are you in the Sahara or in Alaska? ;) Did you try reseating the block?
 
Sounds like you might have mounted the block incorrectly. The ram sinks help a little I guess but I'm not running any on my X800XL and I can still run mine at a OC of 550 on the ram, clean. And with my old PolarFlo GPU block the core temp stays around 26c during 2D use and jumps all the way to 32-34c during long periods of gaming. So I would try remounting the water block as the X800XL doesn't really run all the warm .
