Hi,
First time poster, long time reader.
I was wondering if any one is having problems using a LeadTek 8500 GT Passive HDMI card?
I've already had one gone pop through overheating within 15 minutes use and a second just this minute has also overheated and died.
The card is plugged into a Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R/S2 with a Q6600 processor.
The thing gets hot just showing a BIOS window so it's not under any kind of stress?
Could this be a faulty batch? or is it because the Ahanix MCE303 case I am using is too short and causes the case to become an extension of the GFX passive heatpipe?
Thoughts would be appreciated!
