Well I just had my fan on my GPU go.  Took it out, vaccummed it, but still makes a terrible noise when it spins.  Does not seem user replaceable...

The "catch" is that you are grossly under-informed about how the bitcoin works, how they are generated, how the hashing network operates, and just about every other aspect. I suspect you have a few more hours of browsing the forums before you shed your newbie status. I suggest using that time to become more educated about bitcoin.

I have 2 AMD 6870 cards OC to 980Mhz that had been running 24/7 for a whole year without any issue.

but do you play games with them and are they still ok, no artifacts?

not trying to sound rude, but you should title your post something better then "Questions!" ... maybe "questions about bitstamp withdrawl"

Because I have 0 idea what bitstamp is, but I clicked your post anyway, and it is slighly annoying Smiley

  I was looking at a thread in the marketplace where the poster wants to buy cards that are not working or have problems etc.

Code:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101624.220

 It has page after page of people with fried cards, this makes me wonder if mining does some damage to them that gaming does not? If anyone has an idea about this please discuss because I am wanting to build a rig for LTC or NVC but if I am gonna be frying cards all the time it may be more expensive than I thought. Thanks in advance!

It shouldn't damage them.

Even if it did, If you think bitcoin will take off, the profit you eventually make will outweigh the price of a new card.

I wouldn't worry about it
