I have some rather minor issues that I was hoping someone could help me with.

1. My 2500+, which is overclocked to 3200+ speeds (200 x 11) is only stable at a core voltage of 1.85v. Temperatures are almost always over 50c, and can get over 60c sometimes. I am using a thermaltake silent boost heatsink. I have read about other people getting a stable system with a much lower core voltage, such as 1.7v. How do they manage this?

2. I have a sapphire radeon 9600xt that has some artifacting issues when run at the default memory speed of 297. Reducing it to just below 270 seems to stop it from artifacting. Would a faulty fan or some such thing be causing this to happen?

Help is much appreciated.
