So my 2900Pro died out on me a few weeks ago after about a year of use and Sapphire was more than helpful with still supporting their warranty and granting me an RMA for the card (quite possibly one of the smoothest RMA experiences I have ever had next to newegg). They are sending me a 3870 single slot card as a replacement this week (a very small, but welcomed upgrade). My concern is the heat that single slot cards tend to give off. As I cannot afford a decent aftermarket cooler right now AND I would like to keep my warranty intact (Sapphire told me that the replacement card will be covered for the remainder of my two years of original coverage), I was wondering how much of a difference those expansion slot exhaust fans really make?
