Yeah, the fan on my Leadtek GF4MX-420 card went bad... not sure when; I'm sure it had something to do with the X lockups I was seeing all the time. I don't think the heat was too bad unless I tried to do anything with OpenGL. I finally noticed it when I rebuilt my system; not only was the fan not running, but the caps were going bad as well. The card is in for RMA now; can't wait to get it back because the TVout blew away my current onboard nForce2 with the new NV18 encoder chip. If/when I do get it back, I may change out the fan for some passive cooling as a preemptive measure. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
