great card, runs hot
Comments: This is a great card for multi monitor connectivity. I have it driving 2 17in CRT's and a TV right now. No problems, the dvd max works perfectly out to the TV and my desktop looks crystal clear. Great color and clarity. I don't do a whole lot of gaming, so I can't really comment on its 3d performance. I gave this card a 4 because of the insane heat this thing generates. I've been trying to quite down my system somewhat and it's been a real challenge to get the heat from this card out of my case. I have a dual MP system and the processor right above this card always runs a full 7-10C hotter than my other cpu! Consider extra case cooling with this card.
Great buy
Comments: I got two of these heat sinks to replace the OEM ones on my dual MP 1600+ processors. I am using low rpm 80mm pc toys stealth fan on them. My system is MUCH quieter now. Goodbye high rpm 60mm fans! My processors are running about 7c cooler even with the quiet fans! Best of both worlds. Doubt you can beat it for 20 beans.
