Using nvidia-current, dkms installed, I have 19 days now. But this card has been cooked by a failed & too small fan once, so its days are probably numbered. I have gkrellm watching the GPU temp now, shows in the middle 60's C. I have a cpu cooler that will fit it if there is height room for it that I'll see if I can mount on it the next time I pull the card because the temps are getting too close to the bus disconnect messages in the log. Otherwise, nvidia is selling an economy model with a huge passive heat sink, no fan. That IMO is how it _should_ be. I don't need a 10,000 fps card burning 400 watts to play klondike.
