Yet my Powercolor 5850 lasted 3 years in my system, beautiful performance, no hitch's whatsoever, no card issue, no heat issue, no fan issue...well built, yet cheap.

The card ran on a heavy overclock and is still going in someone else's system.

So Mileage may vary.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
