i just started getting some minor pixeling on my card, so i took off the side cover and pulled the vid card out (figured id put AS5 on the hs/chip to help the temp) what i discovered when i pulled the cover off the flat heatsink was lotsa dust built up blocking the airflow of my fan, which was suprising cause the fan looked clean as hell. its under the tiny screw cover where the fins start was where the dust built up and blocked the airflow. (you cant see the dust looking at the card its under the cover/shroud for the heatsink)
so, even though it looks clean its not, i would hate for anyone to lose a 350$(at the time i bought it) vid card over some dust that likes to hide. lol
