Is about 85C too hot while gaming? I'm not getting any artifact but i was just playing farcry, and after about 20 min of play it booted me to the desktop. Think its the heat or my cpu? (im still testing my cpu overclock, im not sure if its stable or not yet)

I have a Radeon x800 Pro and 83-84c is the max I see. If I clock the card down a little bit it drops to 80c. So at 526/573 for the core and memory I get 83-84c. When I go down to 510 or so with the core and 550 with the memory it will drop to 80c.

Going to anything below 510 and 550 doesnt give me any cooler of a chip. So basically my card runs at 80c all the time until I pump it up past 510-520/550-580. Never tried anything higher than those highest numbers.

Im also waiting on a VGA Silencer Rev3 to help me out with that. Anyone know about the fans on those things? Can I put a 5000 rpm 80mm fan on it? I dont give two sh*ts about noise, only cooling.
