I have 2 of these cards fitted and linked with the crossfire ribbon. About 3 years old now. They run the 28" screen I use which is often open with multiple windows but I don't do gaming.
Recent blue screen crashes have made me look at the system, and the 2 cards are running too hot... one is hotter than the other and I wonder if the fan on one is knackered from the sound!

Any ideas about swapping these cards for something else better ?? I'm running a G7 Power extreme 780W power supply, and have the box fitted with a 1Gb SSD; a 256Gb SSD and 2 1TB hard drives; an overclocked i7 processor of a Gigabyte motherboard. I'm wondering if the graphics cards are able to keep up with the SSDs ???
