    Does the SLI1 [& others] have the faulty GPUs?

    My GPUs have died 3 times in my SLi4. The techs won't replace the heatsinks that are probably causing the problem.

    Man what are you doing with your machine?¿ I guess your doing some EXTREME overclocking, or you live in a REALLY HOT place? I had no problem (Cross FIngers) with my Sli1 even when i do overclock and stay in a ambient temp of 30 degrees (celcius) average...

    my 8600m's have been just fine, except when I let the fans/heatsinks get too dirty once. Even then, they hit 105C before crashing. I regularly overclock the GPU's with ATITools for gaming, and they run cool and stable.

    I'd love to have Nvidia/Toshiba slap a couple of 9800m's into my machine (if such things exist), but I've had my Sli3 nearly a year, and it seems pretty stable.
