Hello. This is my first post on the LTT forums so I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I'm having a problem.
A few days ago I started up my PC and as usual Overclocked my HD6850 (Using MSI afterburner) as I normally do to get half way decent performance from games. I could care less about noise so I crank the GPU's fan speed to max and let it sit to cool down for a little bit without playing any games. I usually got a great 36 Degrees Celsius but today I'm getting no lower then 42 idle (which I know is still OK but it worries me that its gotten higher) degrees, my screen is artifacting and looks like it's tearing up when I increase core clock,( Made sure the cable is secure) and my performance in games has gone down a ton. Have I fried my GPU or do you think there is something making it get hotter and preform worse?
