Ok just got an email back from BFG Tech about my 6800GS AGP. i told them that my idle temp was 56C and my case ambient is 39C. But under full load(when im artifact testing with ATITool) the temp gets up to 86C easily. they told me my card is defective and i should get it exchanged. however i been using it for about a week. and now that i have fans on it it hasnt crashed on me once. and i managed to overclock it from 370/1050 to 400/1180 without any artifacts showing up on ATITool for about an hour. What do u guys think? should i get it exchanged based on BFG's advice or keep it cause its stopped giving me problems?

They probably know better than any one of us. It's your call...as long as you don't mod the card, you should be able to RMA it any time during the warranty period. Do you think the replacement might be worse?
Hellz Yea!
