Whel I guess when the artic cooling fan dies so does the card.
Just FYI for everyone.
The other day my wife's computer was slow to boot. I opened it up and found the Artic Cooling fan at almost zero spin. Guess it was drawing off enought voltage to cause the slow boot. Anyway I oiled it up and got it spinning again and all was fine. NOT. 2 days later card is dead.
So lets everone check any video cards with onboard voltage for fan. For I suspect that that is what killed it. I am sure that its not just ATI cards that this can happen to.
side note: modded card= no warranty. I took the chance, I lose the bucks.
