well I was mainly wondering if it would indeed add a little stability, but yeah I knew it'd add heat....I don't think I'll do it though cause in 3dmark03 on the rag troll test the environment they were in was nothing but colors so that was the only 'artifacts' I saw.....don't think my card can use anymore heat and I think that's what destroyed the first one...cause the manufacturer sent the replacement back with a bigger heatsink and fan and more little heatsinks and some capacitors lol
