Visiontek GF3 problem alert on some cards!

Just in case you have this problem here`s what it says,



<< If you are having intermittent lock-ups with your VisionTek GeForce3, you might want to inspect its heatsink and fan. Evidently, a couple of folks noticed that there was a red piece of paper over the thermal compound which should have been removed prior to shipping.
Anyone that finds this issue should let VisionTek have it. While I praise their manufacturing skills, it seems the assembly area is lacking a bit.

here`s the link which has photos.
 
I just took mine off, practically no part of the thermal tape was making contact, I replaced it with the Blue Orb, what a pain the holes were off a bit.
I busted the plastic on one of the holders and used screws instead for a nice tight fi.
