Ok, i have a BFG 8800GT OC, and it runs pretty cool, 50c load. but i see other people's who's fans run at like, 3k rpm max. mine runs at 11k? is there something wrong. i know this is good, but, will it wear out the card? also, i ahve 2 socket 775 spare fans attatched to my mobo, think it would help the temp if i placed 1 in front of the card fan, and one in the back to pull heat off the chipset?

Well it depends on which fan verion you have. The older ones had the smaller but faster fans but the newer ones had the bigger slower ones. Lol with my stock coolers on my 8800gt's at 100% fan speed it sounded like a hairdryer.
