Another thing to consider is your power supply, is it up to the task ?

Read this thread here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111512

Power supply is more than adequate.
What exactly is a "safe" temerature to run at? My rig is new, well ventilated and the air exiting the tower is barely more than room temperature. My Catalyst control panel shows a steady 76 degrees C after playing this game for hours. The video card fan very rarely revs up to it's higher speed, and when it does it's only for a short time. The smearing at the periscope station is there at boot up (cold computer) or after playing for hours.
