Hey hey hey, let's not start a fight over this. BTC should be about happiness.
I did nothing to bring this on.

Im not taking sides on this issue as I have no facts in either direction. But the way I look at it is most hardware is going to drop in value a large amount after 1-2 years and anything after 2 years it is pretty much worthless. I used to be an overclocking nut as well as a Folding@home nut. I have run a fair amount of hardware out of spec and at some pretty high temps with only a few failures. If I can get 2+ years out of it Im happy because after that time no one wants it anyway...
Just my opinion.

Opinions are always welcome. Its the 'all knowing' mentality that bugs me.

Making the gear last is only part of the reason I run my gear as cool as possible.
The other part has to do with the toxic fumes the card will emit at the higher temps. This never gets talked about because just like smog/pollution, cell phone radiation, GMOs ect., they are all supposed to be "safe".
