What brand of GeForce do you get? I always buy PNY, their cards seem to be pretty solid.
-420
hope you have more luck than me, the geforce 7600 GS of my new pc came with an overheat problem and i was only seeing odd coloured polygons all over the screen, then i had to wait like 2 weeks for the replacement ( they didnt had it in stock thats why i had to wait more >_>) and now when it finnally comes this one has the same overheat problem again WTF!!!! :angry: at least im sure its not the same cos first had fan and this one doesnt but omg its the fourth card ive bough that cames with overheat problem!!! (from different vendors) my luck with graphic cards just suck :( now i see myself another week without graphic card surely...
btw i played the demo of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and that game really looks good.

Perhaps your case is very hot. Or it might not be heat related. Perhaps your motherboard has a compatibility issue with these cards. Whats the temp of your video card?
btw which temp graphic card should have without playin games?
30-40�º? or lower?

30-40 is normal yes.
300+ euros for the x1900gt? It's $220 CAD here. Man they are ripping you off over there. 300 euros is $425CAD lol
The "Metal thing" is actualy copper tubing, which disperses heat. I
