Sad thing is, the card hasn't gone down that much since I bought it. It's almost as pricey. Ah, well. Such is the price of PC gaming. Neverending upgrades.  |
Don't forget that you're buying your components in Canadian dollars...our prices are US $, so numerically, they're going to be lower. |
Nevertheless, even in CAD that is some expensive hardware |
Canadian = C, so you are saying your board hit 212 F? Ouch!! ANd it still works? I heard the 6800's were like a vacuum cleaner noise wise, and now I understand why!
AMD CPU's start to fail at around 90C, so I can only imagine what your vid card is doing!
