it doesn't get so hot that it just plain quits or anything like that. it's just been noticed that OCing them -could- be a problem because they run hotter than the x800. hence why i picked up the leadtek, because people have been over clocking them like a job because of the heatsink it has on them. apparently it keeps them MUCH cooler. i didn't even think about leadtek because i thought their prices were to high..glad i did!! i like them because nvidia lets them use their own version of cooling..which is normally pretty damn awesome.
