I always thought they crippled the speed of their 040/060 cpus on purpose to make the PPC seem more faster than an 060 than it really is. Many people were fooled.
from my point of view i think it was a heat issue,if the card ran any faster you are going to run into problems. i can`t understand why their release a card without some kind of cooler with chips that ran so hot it can burn your finger. perhaps the card should have come with somekind of hazzard.
most componets that run at high temperture has some kind of cooling device.
with the right cooling iv yet to do permanent damage to a Blizzard PPC no matter how far i try to overclock it.
perhaps adding more cooler cost of card would be more.
cyberstorm are in towers,so has more airflow,but what about change in normal air temperture summer months this also appiles to the Blizzard PPC card.
