I just got a BOrb last week for my video card & I attached it to the header next to the one for the cpu to be able to monitor both the fans rpms with VIAhm. 6000rpm for a BOrb? The thing is only rated for 4600rpm. Do you guys & girls think it burn out soon?

probably not since its a small fan it does'nt take that much power.

thanks, just wanted to hear that it was ok for the BOrb to spinning that fast. almost cheap enough to replace every month if it does. I cut the old gpu heatsink in two so that I could attach it to the ram. what can I use to stick them on? 'em ram modules on the video card gets really hot. there is no AS Epoxy available here & was thinking about superglue
