I got a graphics card that almost smoked my entire computer. It was running at 90c

Wow, that sux, what card it was? That made me remember that some time ago when rearranging my case,

I forgot to put the CPU heatsink again... after some time of playing, I noticed the heatsink on the desk...

the CPU was at 110°C


 It was a 5900Ultra I think. The GPU was defective. Performance it was on par with a GeForce2, but it threw NO artificats, and EVERYTHING worked perfect. It was really weird. I touched my computer with that card in it, and almost burnt my hand. I got a MSI 5900SP (OCed 5900 with extra memory) And it worked perfect. It was just a defective chip. I have a 8800GTS and it puts out about a quarter the heat, that defective card did. (I have a new case that disperses the heat MUCH better than my old case. I could put a 1500 watt heater in it, and likely not cook a chip.
