Hot Card, Power HOG!

white Reviewed By: Pappy1965 on 8/18/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Excellent card, power for days.
Cons: Power hog, make sure to plug in both the six pin and eight pin connectors to get the card to spin up. And it runs hot, CCC is worthless as far as fan control, download Riva Tuner.
Other Thoughts: If I had a bigger case and a large enough power supply I'd install another

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Pending
Cons: Pending
Other Thoughts: Recieved card today and as soon as I installed it I ran into a post error (one long beep, 3 short Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) Error). Card is seating properly, power connected and sufficent (650 watt, Thermaltake via 6 pin connector).

Intend on contacting Diamond and Newegg in the morning hoping to resolve this issue better than the last problem I had with products purchased thru Newegg a year and a half ago.
