That's helping how? We're all here to help, not wise to attack those who you don't know in a place you're new in, try that at a workplace or in school if you're young enough and learn the "real life" lesson of that, it may do some good.

Onto the real topic at hand,

I agree on the PSU, the x1950 series are power hogs for sure. But my pro with the AC X2 cooler never saw above 53-55c ever, even when I had one front intake and the top exhaust disabled (for silence). I try and maintian decent airflow, as with these newer "performance" components, heat is the enemy. And I understand the X2 is more efficient than OEM cooling, but 95C+ is crazy!

Can you set the fan @ 100% and let us know what your temps are then? How long are you letting artifact scanner run? How long did the card work as expected or normal shall I say before you started getting this problem?
