Default X1600 pro heat problems.....

Just wanted to say "hi" to everyone a NGOHQ and post a tech question. I recently upgraded from a 9800 pro to an X1600 pro hoping to squeeze a little more performance out of my AGP mobo. It appears to give me better game play (HL2, AA, CS source, and RVS) but I get little blocks of iridescent off-color squares in the terrain and static mesh textures? Is this heat or something else?



For what it’s worth I am running an Arctic Cool active heat sink w/heat pipes and three 80mm fans.

Sorry , I went home after posting and of course nothing showed up! Grrr! I did get the same "boxes" while my daugter was playing her Barbie game. I'll post some tonight as long as everyone understands the in-game pics are my daughter's game and her playing not me! I don't do games with pink and unicorns in the same place.
