Thanks again. I did confirm this after finding my card on Gigabyte's website and it says the same thing. I will monitor overall temps in my system though just to be 100% sure all is OK. :-)

Oh, I did not know that. I guess I didn't really pay too much attention to where the air was really blowing, I just figured it would blow away from the heatsink instead of into it. Is this a standard for most newer video cards or just AMD ones (or just Gigabyte ones)? Ah, something I didn't...
