@happy, I'm using a Corsair HX620.
That should be fine. I run a pair of OCed 5850s with a Q9550 @4.2GHz on an HX650 and it's running like a champ.

Same issue here with my Crossfire XFX 6950's. Can play Crysis for 2+ hours and temps not exceed the mid 40's, all components cool to the touch. Fuzzy dots on game boot but none during play. Random dots sometimes during web browsing too.
How do we fix?
I just record it now my artifact problem with MSIA.
Run vantage at 900/1300 with 1.2v on my unlocked 6950.
Here is the video:

And why at that voltage vantage stuck??
A tough all chips can at least work at 1.175 on 900 core without a problem.
^Nope the artifacts are gone now. I can up the voltage and I don't get any...I really don't know how the problem was fixed. I didn't do much different...I just let it run a bit longer and the artifacts went away.
I left it for maybe 1-2min. I am at max 1GHz core at 1.25v using MSI Afterburner. And no I never used a modded BIOS, I am on the stock BIOS. OS is Win7 64-bit with 11.1 WHQL driver.
^Yeah it sorta looked like that but the splotches were not that large and there were more of them.
Is it doing that if you only up the voltage and leave the clocks alone?
The problem is that in 3dmark 2011 and Drakensang i noticed at stock voltage artifacts, that is why i really want to find what is the problem.
At 1.15v at all 3d have artifacts.
There you go if it artifacts at stock voltage in ANYTHING, return the card. I myself didn't have artifacts at stock voltage so I couldn't return/exchange the card. Do it now before it is too late.
