That's a good reason to photocopy and make digital copies of all your important receipts. We managed to replace it ourselves with spare parts we had. We got the receipt but decided that for a card he spent $20 on, it wasn't worth spending another $10 to $15 to ship it to BFG just to fix the fan. We called in to BFG and they said as long as we had a receipt, they had no problem doing the repairs on it. With that said, my friend purchased a used BFG 6800GT AGP 2 weeks ago and the fan was broken. Yes, their policy was that you had to register it online with them within 30 days of purchase at that time which I think was either 2006 or 2007.
I got another card but for sure not their brandI have the exact same card and I registered it and sent in a copy of my receipt a few days after I purchased it. So I sure wouldn't buy another one of anything from that company. I phoned and customer service told me they changed their policy that the card had to be registered period with a receipt you can't read the receipt anymore to faded out and any wattage higher, obviously should've cost more.Tyreman wrote: ↑I don't know what they are doing but they wouldn't look at my 8800 512 oc thats for certain under warrantyīox has Lifetime Warranty but it means nothing generally, anything that is about 450-500 watts should've cost about 80 dollars. it will likely be low quality and will crap out very soon. if you got a 600watt psu for 50 dollars, be afraid. but if it isn't on the list, then just take a look at the wattage rating, and the price. if you've bought something from tier 3 or above, no need to worry. It lists the more common PSUs from best to worst. If you want some reassurance, refer to this: if you've done you're hw, then you should know what's a good PSU, and what isn't, and which ones can handle varying degrees of stress. but if you don't feel safe, then at least you know what to do.
in fact, that was probably one of the benchmarks for how well it could perform. if you feel like it, buy a water cooler or something.Īn 8800gt was built to play games like bioshock. if turning the fan up to a higher setting doesn't do the trick, buy a better fan. if it starts breaking your personal upper limit for heat tolerance, like say if you wanted it to stay below 40 C and it goes a few degrees over, then do as the OP is doing. Once you've done you're homework, make sure you're stocked on all the cooling you need, and slap the card in there and keep an eye on it. check for what is safest, and check for what is the easiest way of cooling it for the right price. read up on reviews, check for people that already bought it and have posted temperature readings.
it's for people that are concerned with what it might be doing to their system and to the card itself.

That's why they make programs that detect the heat generated by cards like this, and it's why the makers include software to assist in determining said heat.
