If that's the case then they really need to check their cooling and check the size of the Dimension 8400 case. Anyways, they said they would send me a replacement 6800 gto and i guess I'll see what kind of performance I get now.. I doubt it will make much of a difference but I dont know how this system passed its burn test... (if there was a burn test conducted lol)
35 degrees? that sounds a little low......for something in a Dell puter anyhow....ok if u had a 4 fan full size tower with artic cooler on the card i could believe it, but not in a Dell......lol.....mine peaks at 80-90 under load now, but idling as it is right now its steady around 60.........still, i might phone up Dell, tell them im not happy, i want to swap my card, but can they take an extra £50 off me and give me an X800XT instead...lol
