Title: Don't buy this! Defective cooling design.,
Product review: I really wanted this to work, since I need something exactly like this for my low profile HTPC setup. I saw the review in [...] where they panned this after it failed partway through their test. Thinking that it might just have been their unit or something, I bought one a couple weeks ago. Boots up fine, but about two minutes into running 3dmark03, the machine reboots itself! Basically, the passive cooling on this board doesn't work. Note, this wasn't even in my HTPC, but in a normal Antec case with plenty of fans cooling it. I replaced this with a (full height) passive X1600-based unit from Asus, and now have no problems. If you buy this card, you WILL regret it.
