So, my bf2 has been displaying quite a few artifacts recently, flashing, black spots etc.

So, i investigated the temps of my gpu, lo and behold it was 108 degrees after playing bf2 for like 5 minutes. Thank christ it has a big ased copper hear sink else it wold have probably exploded. Anyway, the fan was dead so I've jerry rigged a retail AMD64 70mm fan on top and wow what a difference, overclocked to hell and 20 degrees cooler than when the old fan was working.

Looks like shit tho, very messy.

You should do what I do and buy and old fridge and put the whole PC in there. Keeps things nice and cold.
