not always. i could keep the original in case there were any issues down the road.
That view will likely get you a lot of scorn here. My personal view is that if I mod my hardware (e.g. by overlclocking, or using an aftermarket cooler), then I've voided my warranty and will eat the cost if it breaks down the road. You pays your money, you takes your chances.

how much did you guys pay for the pe's? just wondering cuz i'm in canada too but i bought the us version.
$289 CAD - $28.90 (10% off) + 19.15GST + $21.89PST + $13.51S/H = $314.65 CAD
Obviously not as cheap as the US deal with tax, exchange, shipping, etc., but still a helluva deal (especially when you consider the equivalent X850XT would cost you at least $200CAD more here, taxes in).
BTW, for those of you who missed the PEs, the Canadian site now lists the AGP X800Pro as in stock. Not as good of a deal, but still pretty decent value.
