Hey, I've been looking on ebay and see a lot of these A400's going for cheap (6800GT's), like under $200. Is there something wrong with them, like they're not overclockable or have low performance or don't flash to Ultra or just don't overclock well? I'm looking at one for $175 with less than an hour left, but I'm not getting it purely for this reason, I don't know what's wrong with it.
UPDATE: I just checked the site, Leadtek seems to be a pretty good company for power, and the A400 just looks like the name they give their high-grade heatsinks. Do you think the A400 heatsink would outdo an nvidia Silencer or Zalman VF700Cu? Also, is this card even compatible with aftermarket heatsinks, because I'm thinking it's a custom designed card built for that heatsink, according to a review on the 6800 Ultra
