When I asked him why, he said he saw how hot the card ran with such a slow fan speed. He is relieved that my cards work again.

The strange thing is, when he flashed in the Mod Bios, on Friday, with an increase in fan speed, the card still worked.

But on Saturday, when I did my initial Cross Fire install and bootup, everything just Failed.


Oh well, what are friends for?
lol, friends

I think someone posted the explanation as to why the card might have just died *after* a day somewhere on these forums. It is indeed strange but it might be a power issue.

Either way though, it looks like cards are being fixed

Good to hear Theta. Looks like it might have been a bad batch that slipped through QA as the others you mentioned seem to work fine. We're probably just angrier at those who didn't admit they had issues with modding (knowingly or not) and suddenly have em fixed, but since everyone is getting it fixed it looks good

Where's halo at anyways?
