Warning about Powercolor card

[coylter]

If you have a powercolor card , watch its fan carefully beacause there is a lot of report (including me) of fan that stop running. If your fan stop running it can cause serious damage to your card.

If the card make loud noise at start like a mini-dishwasher you probably have a problem with your fan. The solution is to either RMA the card OR change the fan to a good one (Small 5000rpm 50mm seem to work for me).

My own beast: Athlon 2700xp+ (oc: 3200xp+ with 200fsb) , Radeon 9800pro (oc: 410/370) , 512mb ddr400. SO MUCH faster than my last computer (pIII 550......)

Yeah, I've got a Powercolor 9700 Pro. This is the second one that I've owned after the HSF FELL OFF of the first one. I was unhappy, but got it replaced. The card is an awesome overclocker though!

Sure I'll go buy some 112 octane gas that will work.
