Hey all,

Just built a new rig and have been getting mad crazy artifacting with both a 5850 and 5870. I just sent the 5870 back thinking it was yet another bad card. However, and how I missed this I'm still trying to figure out. But I just noticed the 5 and 12v settings running REALLY low. I even fired up the Crysis demo in the background to make sure something was taxing the system.

Is this the cause of my artifacting? The PSU is only maybe 1 month old and these issues were happening from day one. I don't have any sort of CoolNQuiet or Greenpower stuff enabled either.

Specs:

MSI 790FX-GD70
PhenomII 965
4GB XMS3 @ 1333
MSI R5870 (temps= 50's max when playing; all 10.XX Cats)
750w Corsair
Win7 64
25/15 Fiber
Nothing overclocked

Speedfan is showing the exact same readings. Shouldn't they at least be kinda sorta CLOSE?
