My ATI X700 had a bad case of heatstroke

Maybe I should try that, my x850 runs stupidly hot, and sadly even with an all aluminum case I can't get decent airflow in it. I've tweaked the card to make the fan run faster though, I guess by default the ATI cards only run at 50% rpm on their fans? That helped a little bit.

I'm going to upgrade to an NVIDIA again here someday, problem is I need to get a whole new motherboard, memory, processesor before doing that.
