Well, after getting the card out, I noticed that the stupid housing for the fan and sink had got cloogged with dust. The bearing was shot. Took off the heatsink and the tape that was used was melted to no end, and dry an yellow looking. A new cooler is on the way. I got the Iceberq4 Pro CCB-A4P. I am sure it will be the loudest thing in may case, but I have two servers in my room right now, so I am sure I will not notice.

I have taken the down time to finish my Light Bus, and tidy up the loose ends of my 1.5 yr old case mod. Again, when I get the digi, I will post some pics.

As far as watercooling the GPU, I do plan on doing that in my next case, however am saving up money for said project, so I have to keep it cheap.
