Hi there

I have heard and witnessed many issues with the ATI x1900 in terms of random lines in the monitor, overheating problems, and at times it crashes during game play.

Is it beneficial to purchase a upgraded fan to prevent it from overheating?

such as:
Arctic Cooling
Thermaltake TMG AT1 CL-G0076

Or is it just minor?

Thanks

i think it was just an early batch that had that problem. i got my mac pro back in january and my x1900xt has never caused problems. it's fan is already pretty beefy and revs up when it needs to.

i got mine september 2006

if its the early batch should one change the fan?
will Apple replace it?

what are my options

If your Mac Pro is still under Applecare Apple will replace it.
