x800Xt - any good comments?!

[jjjdup]

I have recently ordered a new system with a x800XT card. It will be delivered next weekend. ( think it's an MSI based card)
I am now a bit worried after reading in a previous post of someone having probs with a x800XT ( heat issues )
has anyone got this card and are you happy with it.

if you are afraid of overheating issues, just make sure that your case has proper cooling.

sorry don't have one of these cards.

If your affraid ill allways switch you for my 9200SE, it doesnt overheat ANY.

i will not recommend MSI's card at this stage, as MSI has entered into ATi's AIB's this year (though a bad strategic decision, after 6800 has launched).

go for some Asus card or who so ever has been builing for at least a year, in which Asus and ATi's own are of course should have to be on top list.

You should be more then fine with proper fan placement inside the case

I'm buying the system from meshcomputers witn a 3 year on-site warranty.
I suppose if I really do struggel they will sort it out, maybe replace it for a 6800 ultra )
I know someone els who has a mesh system and who is very happy with their aftelsales service
