Here's a description of the problem a friend of mine is having:
This is a sapphire 9800 pro oem video card. If you know anything about video cards you know this is the best out there. I am selling this because it is having problems with overheating. Desktop and movies work wonderful but when you go into games or really intense action the card will show artifacts and lockup. I believe this is a problem with the fan. I could take the time to install a better fan on it but I am too busy working on other things right now. I am just selling this card, AS IS, to whoever would like to take the time to fix it. The retail on this card ranges from $280-340 right now. The card has an AMD CPU fan attached to the back to provide for better cooling.
Is this a standard problem for sapphire cards? I thought I remembered hearing something about sapphire cards overheating pretty easily, or the factory fans not working well enough. So, if he buys a new fan or some other type of cooling device, will that fix the problem? Has too much damage already been encurred? Thans in advance
