So I fired up doom 3 and I was replaying one of my old save points, when all of a sudden I started getting horrible artifacting before it finally crashed. I looked at my card and felt the underside of my nv silencer and it didn't feel warm. Then I noticed one of the rubber gromets was missing. I looked around and found it on my desk, but it had a slice right through it. I quickly realized what must have happened, the rubber gromet must have been split and flinged off by the pressure of the fastener. The other three grommets look fine. Should I bother arctic cooling about this, or just head down to the hardware store and start looking for replacements(should be very cheap)? I did tighten all of them to the point where it wouldn't tighten anymore, but if only 1 fails doesn't that make it defective?
