I thought I killed my video card!

I installed a blorb on my MX card yesterday. I toyed around with some overclocking and ran some benchmarks and stuff. Then I restarted the computer and checked my email. I went to the following site: IBM Developer Works Contest. If you go there, you'll see the snow flakes that I at first glance mistook for artifacts.

Just... put the coffee down. Are you that anxious about your card's stability?

Hey Spoooon...

Does your Blue Orb vibrate like crazy? Mine does, it's the loudest damned thing in my system.

I'm wondering if this is normal, or if I happened to get a bad one.

Viper, mine doesn't vibrate at all. I can't hear it over the noise of my other fans. If I turn the other fans off, my cpu fan is loudest. I used the spring clips to hold it on. Maybe the sticker on the fan is off center? It could throw it off just enough to cause some vibration.
