That's the card I have too. I agree with the cooler. It is excellent. With the fan turned to 65%, i never see temps above 50c.

Coolermaster has an awesome new case too. The 480 i think. Looks alot like a Silverstone or Lian Li but with more features.

That's interesting....i was having this happen to me yesterday. I attributed it to running F@Home. Haven't had any problems with it except for then.

it has to do with a power saving feature when not in 3d. The constant switching from 2d clocks to 3d clocks eventually causes BSODs. I don't know much about it, but I'd find a sapphire forum and read up on the issue before purchasing this.

The issue doesn't seem to effect everyone, so I'm still thinking of getting it. I have an 8800GT and mainly play left4dead, but I installed world at war and started thinking of upgrading after seeing the performance was less than perfect...

How does the COD4 engine feel with this thing? And does the very cool temperatures allow for a lot of overclocking?
