I got my computer over 2 years ago. Just bought this video card in the winter so i didnt have to worry about it overheating, but now its a big issue. I have a fan blowing directly on the gfx card right now keeps it at 85ºC under load.
AMD is very cheap. Their priceerformance ratio is much cheaper.meaning if u bought a x2 3800 for like 300 bucks u cudnt get an intel for that price or cheaper that had the same performance
