    the same, ultra have heat issues, ATI cant compete..

    maybe piss about with the fan profiles this time to up the speed under load as default 8800’s dont ramp the fan until meltdown has commenced.

    if you ask for money back you will end up with a lot less than you started with, and they have to pay shipping if the cards faulty so ask em to arrange collection.

    ditto. I think that applies to most goods too, by law.

    electrical items should last longer than a year , i got my laptop repaired after the backlight when after 18 months , some places will try to tell you that after 12 cmonths it is tough shit but if you can afford to wait a while then contact trading standards and make a complaint

    Overclockers are doing a special on the
    BFG 8800 GTX OC
    If you have money left you should go for one of these for cooling:
