new evga 6200 256agp questions

[greyharte]

i unfortunately wasnt being carefull enough and didnt properly leaktest my new mcw30 chipset block and fried my old fx5600 :( .... so due to fianances i now have a brand new evga 6200

im finding however that info is extremely limited on this eg: i was only able to find 1 bios upadate for it

im particularly concerned about heat from this gpu since it didnt come with a gpu fan just a straight heatsink (first time in years that ive purchased a video card w/o 1) and unfortunately my other gpu block isnt universal enough to fit it and i havent been able to find 1 that will fit (so far)

so after all the rambling ... any info on this would be greatly appreciated

wow ... okies i know that this isnt really as exciting as a 7800gtx ... but geeze, only 3 views? ... the only bios i could find was april 2004

OK well did the drivers enable the temp monitoring function for you and if so what is your current temp I have the exact same card NV 44 core on the gpu and have oc'ed it pretty well and have not had any issues with the sink ..... SO let me know what you ned to know ......also I have a pretty interesting thread going on over @ mvk tech here is a link http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,34/func,view/id,31375/catid,13/
I am trying to get the guys to help me take apart my current bios to volt mod the core and mem to OC even higher so check it out be forewarned site takes a little to load.

thaks for the reply ill check it out ... biggest concern i have is so far seems to be doing fine but certaintextures (in eq1) seem to cause a banding effect alternating across the screen where 1 band is a little darker than the other band .. but i can see fine
