I have to say it.
GOOD JOB MATE.

Crap happens, but sometimes you need it to learn. I've done my fair share of mistakes, which shall all be kept secret... =P

the hottest I have seen my ATi 9600XT was in the lower 80s.. but anymore with the better case I see it typically full load in the low 70s...
now I did have a BFG FX5200Ultra that the fan died and started artifacting... I went to desktop, turned on the nvidia temp checker on monitor #2 and started the game back up and I was seeing it around 105C...
I shut the system off, took the card out, temporarily put in a MX440 and got BFG to replace the card.. that second card has run great ever since and now I think Blondie has it... hopefully working well for her as I never had a problem with it.
