It's fake as no computer case will sound like that. Well a compaq might. :laugh:

The fan noise in the beginning. :Q

If he called BFG back in the 5800Ultra days with a hair dryer blowing in the phone they probably would have never asked. :laugh:

Isn't it crazy to spend $500 for a video card and the fan dies so soon? Those NB coolers are really bad. At least the better boards are using crack pipes now.

It's sickening they charge all that for a product and slap a cheap fan on it that lasts a few k hours and grinds to a halt. :|

Yea luckily I don't spend $500 on my video cards. :) In my HTPC I've got passive coolers on the NB and the vidcard and 92mm fans with unrestricted vents, so hopefully, lots of airflow.

All the rest of the mobos I'm using have big ole' passive coolers on the NB. I actually haven't seen a small fan on a board in some time.

Oh yea, and listening to the sound, the slamming sounds, just sound too big to be a computer. Sounds like he's kicking a filing cabinet, or tilting it and dropping it.
