Now that i just got my core 2 duo a few days ago i can now run crysis on all high settings. Even with fan speed 100 % it gets up to 65-70 degrees C. and the game will lock up and get artifacts after ten minutes. I get around 35-45 fps which is good. Is the high settings just to much for the card and over heats it? How can i fix this i want to play crysis. The card is also over clocked. 600 core to 650 , 1500 shader to 1650 , and 900 mem to 1000 (2000 effective).

Thanks for your help.

Is it a single or dual slot cooler? For a single slot cooler that sounds about right...

Ya its single slot.

If it's bothering you that much, grab a Thermaltake DuOrb cooler and put it on. Though the 8800GT/9800GT can handle temps up to around 95C

Yeah if you want to "fix" it, grab an aftermarket cooler. The single slot is horrible.

would lowering the core clock and shader speed help at all?

I agree with the DuOrb its got enough overhang for the fan and heatsink to hit the memory usually.
