Yeah they usually do. Ive heard of people frying them after a while but the warranty covers it up to a certain time. I think Kunaak has some experience with them, you probably want to PM him. He ordered the enhanced 9800 for one of his friends PC's, but i dont know if hes had any other experience.

I've heard more bad than good about those people; at oc-forums someone claims he/she recieved a card that was a volt-modded Radeon 9700np being sold as a 9700 Pro. When he confronted them about it they told him that "the manufacter had done it". A while ago I heard somewhere that they don't do very well when it comes to performing up to spec on their overclocked video cards. I've heard they have artifacts and crash frequently and their tech support is crap.

Check out their resellerratings for a lot of horror stories, reading just the first page I see a user with a similair problem with their card being volt-modded: http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2227.html

here's the thread over at oc-forums: http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=204447

edit: nevermind about the similair problem on resellerratings, apparently it's the same guy at ocforums.

Ouch, thanks for the info. Looked a little too good to be true, but o well. I was looking to buy another 9800 to mess around with a little bit, but i guess ill just be going with a retail one. Thanks again for the info.
