Do I have artifacts?

I don't see any.
Ran it for probably 40-70 minutes.

All good??

Note: This OC gives me 9.87% FPS increase. 😀

Also, it makes this noise about every 15 seconds when under load.. is it just the fan?? fan speed stays within 2%......
*edit* I figured out the pattern. It does it when the fur is closest to me, so to speak, and you can see the least of it. Now, why? */edit*

I saw your screenies. You have NO artifacts. Not a single one and your temp of 65c is great. Good job with the OC your set especially if you ran it for an hour.

Your VRAM video memory is being kept cool so no artifacts are showing up.

As for the noise every 15 seconds. That is not normal it shouldn't do that. Lets hope its the fan HSF making the noise so in the future you can replace it with a after market one. lol Zalman or something. I would bet its the fan when it throttles. good job and gl and gb,

It shouldn't do that, so what should I do? 🙁 JUST bought it, do I have to RMA it now? I don't Think it's the fan, because the speed stays within 2%, usually less, and it does it when the fur is facing me.. the image determines the noise. I know, it could be rendering more making fan speed increase, but it only changes by >2%.

AAAND it does it even @ 675, so it's definitely not because of the heat.

I hear a couple different things, there. Are you talking about the really loud low-pitched sound, or the high-pitched sound? There's a thread in the motherboard section in which someone says that the capacitors on a video card can emit a squealing sound, but that it's nothing to worry about : http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2110387 (2nd post)

I mean the high-pitched squeal.

My 260 squealed, and a lot more - but it was louder and constant. This one comes and goes.

In that case, I'd be inclined to believe it's the capacitors whining. From what I've read, that is nothing to worry about.. but perhaps some other folks could weigh in. 🙂
 
Yup. Furmark causes my video card to make those little electrical squealing noises too. It's normal for GPUs to do that when they're under load.
