Thats what I thought before hearing how hot it got. WTH could make it heat up so much, and if it was just something to enable SLI why would it be on a silicone chip at all instead of some much cheaper to produce flash chip or something like that?

I mean its gotta be doing some kind of workload for it to generate heat like that, unless it really is designed That badly?
