  | I have an aftermarket cooler for my X700. It brings the temps down and helps the card run at a more healthy temperature. Zalman VF700-cu I think it's called... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118117 It's good to have if you're overclocking. If you do need to rma, just hang onto the old one. It'll go back on. Ryan

| EVGA is good about this most of the time. if you overheat,or break it in two,spill soda etc. you can forget it. but if the card just dies on you,I doubt you will have any problems.

| The Zalman is designed to take up one extra slot. SLI boards always have another PCIe x1 slot between the PCIe x16's, so you will be able to SLi, even though it's a waste of hard-earned money. Ryan
