Supersmash, where do you get all this money? I'm waiting till the summer so I can get an E6320 and DDR2. I had a core 2 system before, but it only had a 7600GT XXX and 1GB RAM, and I sold it to buy something else. But I look at you and your C2Q 6700 and lookin at dual 8800s... wtF do you need that much power for?! Supreme Commander junkie? Cuz the only thing that will lag on that hardware is SupCom... (yes, it will still lag on that hardware... it's far too demanding).

I have an Xfx 7950gt extreme 512 and it says vista ready on the box... does this mean it is using DX10? or is that only the 8 series and above?
also, on a totally different note, i knocked a capacitor off the card while moving it into a new motherboard, hence voiding the xfx "double lifetime warranty." i proceeded to solder it back on (not so nicely, but it does the job), and the card seems to do its job, although it does not get as high a framerate as before in Stalker: Chernobyl. i can not run the game on maximum settings any longer either, although pretty damn close. the main reason i found this thread, though, is that the card was overheating a bit, i mean it was super hot to the touch, so instead of getting an aftermarket fan, i just used ntune to throttle the fan up to 120%, and now the card stays at 54 idle and 63 MAX under heavy load. my question is, will this kill my fan?!??!?!

It will kill your fan, but it might take awhile.
Those temps look alright, but if you're worried about your fan giving way sooner or later (plus I can imagine the noise from a fan running at 120%!!), you should look into an aftermarket graphics card cooling. Good ones cool much better than stock fans, and are much more quiet when doing so too.
