I don't know about other brands, but once I removed the thick thermal puddy from the faceplate on my Asus 4870 it became useless. It doesn't even touch the ram chips. Even when the puddy was on it, the ram was barely touching the puddy. Is every company using the same design? I haven't seen anyone else complain about this problem (unless they don't realize it). So I'm wondering if this is only related to cards from Asus? Does anyone else have this same issue?
