Back on Matrox Powaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Evildead666]

Evildead, my G450 PCI also runs very hot...and does this for a few years without any problems.

So it would seem it's "normal"...

Hmmmm. Its in the bottom slot of the case, the other free PCI slot gave me nothing but problems...
It was a real bitch to install, I had 3 mins or so to install or the PC went to a black screen with a lovely flashing cursor in the top left corner.
I thought that sort of crap was only seen on tv anymore

Finally got it installed, and with having to change slot and stuff, I felt it burning my fingers it was so hot. The case has some of the worst ventilation in the world, and i'm just waiting for something to crap out...
I had to FORCE the people at work to give me a second screen.
I use remote desktop as a support tool on almost every call, and a second screen means i can just shove it there and keep an eye on it.

Even the people who look after the servers and all the computers are like 'ooooh, wow thats great' and i'm like, ' where the f**k have you been for the past 10 years ?'

its good to be back on Matrox tho. Just FEELS good

Yup, the one here also "feels like burning fingers"; and right next to it is a G400, in identical cooling conditions, that's always slightly warm at most.

Work will also give me 17" LCD when accountant gets a new one, I'll use it as 2ndary screen with my notebook, also do a lot remote stuff (servers, support). I really regret not buying 2 Lenovo 220lx monitors, now they're out of channel.
