Looks really good, the HIS cards are always great.

You never told us if the fan on the heatsink was moving, but i guess it doesn't matter anymore if you are RMAing anyway.

the fan works fine. the temps are normal too. 30ish C.


wat i might do is sell my 9800 pro and get this card with the crazy hs. is this generally better (quality wise) than a sapphire?

Ya, usually they are higher quality, run at higher clock speeds than ati made or saphire or a few others.
So ya it is better than the saphire.

I have a HIS card and I love it, it looks way nicer then the regular ATI&#39;s
Card is rock solid, havn&#39;t had many problems with it at all, once I switched to the Omega Drivers of coarse
HIS usually has a lot better cooling devices on it then ATI&#39;s or saphires too

no. i didn&#39;t. i was gonna, but i kept it for a backup in case something like this happens. guess my instincts were correct, something bad was gonna happen.


i&#39;m gonna take a look. is there a definite reason y these things happen? i&#39;m not ocing anything
