PowerColor 9800SE, running stock.
When my case temperature hits 38C, I start seeing wavy lines, much like on a bad TV signal (but going up instead of the usual TV diagonal or across), moving up the monitor.
So, what should I do? The card is brand new, eveyrthing in perfect condition. I do not have a better case around--the best I can do is run it with the side off. 39C is the highest the case temp has gotten, but Prim95 gets it there in a matter of minutes, so I surely wouldn't want to do any stressful gaming.
Any auggestions, aside from leaving the case open?
