That XFX cooler looks really nice, but it's a no go with those "void if removed" stickers on the screws. Gotta be able to add a backplate.

Those warranty stickers only apply in some countries..... they do not apply in the USA that is straight from XFX's mouth they will not reject the cards if those are gone! Or will it disqualify you from the double lifetime warranty.

I'm thinking you might be right about that. I wonder if the 6950's will still fetch a good dollar since the new cards are rolling out now

I have done it a few times, the one that hurt the worst was my X1800XT. Ass raped by ATI for wanting something.

That was nothing IMO the 2900XT was worse! Same with the GTX 295 but at least the second of the two worked way better. This one seems to probably be worth it to (HD7970)

I skipped the 2XXX series due to my ass still hurting after paying $529 for a card that was devalued a few months later.

3870, 4850, 5870 and skipped the 6XXX series.
