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.

What RAM are you using? Really good RAM always increases the results of overclocking. Bad RAM will really put a damper on the OC'ing performance.
It sounds like your videocard is too hot. So yes, a faulty fan or heatsink could cause your problem. I would try installing different drivers first, though.
