Artifacts :(

[unreal]

Got my MP-1 installed, gpu temp is 26'c idle.

I used atitool just to set it off on the "find max core" as a rough guide - it locked out which is normal for atitool. However my start menu icons (my doc, my comp etc) all have black around them. Similarly icons on the taskbar has wierd stuff on them..

I presume these are artifacts, but why havent they vanished when I restarted?

have you mounted the block too hard and crushed the core?

That doesnt sound good - seems odd though as I didnt do the thumbscrews overly tight..

God I better not have...

Hmm, it might be better to remount the air cooler and see what that does.

Apart from that, obv somethings happened when you mounted this cooler if it was fine before.

Back on to air cooler, marks remain

Inspected core, there are no markings or anything on it, it looks perfect...

Edit: Games are fine....

Edit2: Only some icons are messed up too...

games are fine??

Hmm, very strange. full driver clean and install needed maybe

Also the other thing is, I dont remember them being there 1st boot, as in they appeared after I tried overclocking core with atitool.. So maybe screwed xp install with the crash...

Oop no, games crash after 4 min or so.... but they look perfect hmm

Haha, im such a foool

Anyone tried what display properties 16bit looks like?

Computer switched itself into 16bit more, odd!

Pardon the breath-taking lack of knowledge, but is MP-1 the new GPU cooler?

It sure is - and judging by those temps it's doing damn fine!

Temps skyrocket under load tho.. but as I say, didnt put it on too hard.

Edit, thats 9'c below my idle arctic cooler ATI!

But an AquaXtreme 50Z with PA160 rad to itself - for now...
