If I remember right I couldn't even play ogl games with that card...plus at the time I hated the lighting and colors on nvidia cards...I always love 3dfx's brilliance in colors and their vibrance. Reason I didnt get the V4 off the bat is because they had just gone out of business, so I was...

Listen, for all you talking about dusting and cleaning with a q-tip and such...just because all of you are freaks about your hardware (well, I kindof am too :-\) it should never be required to do so...they got the coolers almost right with XTs and x800s, all they need is a dual slot and its...

No, only XTs had temp monitors Of course, if something is burning shut it down...too bad I wasn't home when it happened. As for defective design, scroll up to my original post and look at the pics of XT and 9800 pro...XT is proper, Pro is not. Oh, and Knuckles, if you want to buy it you...

My purpose here is not to bash ATI, but I lose respect for the company whose inneficiency in a design seems to justify $350 for a piece of hardware. I hear alot of people complaining about nvidia's dual slot cooling solutions, but you know what? Think about it, you can't melt plastic in...

You are missing the point...I have a FULL ATX tower with much airflow. The point here is that its a 8 month old card that's FAN MELTED OFF. Dust isnt a heat conductor. I do understand your point, well recieved and very correct. But the f*in fan melted off. If you have a 9800 can you look at...

Ok, let me start off my saying I will never EVER buy an ATI product again. With that said, last summer I bought a 9800 Pro 128MB (Built by ATI). Never once have I tried oc'ing it. The other day, my HSF stopped spinning. I figured the fan just went out. I got it started again...until yesterday...

Ok, I just bought a 2.8E with Corsair Value 3200, 2.5-3-3-7, 5:4 with Iceburg Copper Heatspreaders(yea I chould have gone higher but money saving is my 1st priority). As of now I'm at 3.2C (1.41v) and ram @ 2.7v. My HSF is a Gigabye 3D cooler. I'm on an Abit IC7-G MaxII. If I clock to 3.3-3.6...
