QUOTE]I received my bfg 7800gt oc a week ago and i seem to experience similiar issues to you guys. Each day when i start the computer, its a safe bet that the fan will be at 100% when i get into windows. When i installed the 81.98 drivers i did indeed hear the fan speed decrease, even when i rebooted countless times, the speed would reduce once in windows. BUT, leaving the computer off over night and starting it the next day, windows failed to reduce the speed and thus, remained at 100 %. Eventually, after countless reboots, windows finally reduces the speed. I have to go through this process everyday and have been for the past week since i received it. Help me [/QUOTE]
Mine acts exactly the same.
I gave in and changed the cooler its now completely silent + gets an extra 30mhz overclock on the core.
So much for "lifetime warranty".
BFG tech support are a joke the only people who i have delt with that are worse are netgear.
I was told on 2 emails and on the phone that the card is supposed to run at 100% all the time.
Why ocuk stock them i don’t know.
And is it legal for a retailer to offer no technical support or RMA and fob you off to the manufacturers?
And am i correct in saying if there is a fault you have to send it to america?
If so how much does that cost?
