I actually have an issue with one of my 560TI Twin Frozr's fan.

On a cold boot (usually in the morning), the right fan (towards power connectors) of my top card is grinding (bearing noise)....Great cards tho...but people RMA, get another card, usually recertified, and often have fan issues down the road again...I'm procrastinating, but I should RMA....I'm not too fond on a 20$-30$ shipping charge.........

I wonder if TF III is better than TF II, durability wize?

If folks are considering my own personal experience, I honestly think that the fact I had the fans manually pegged to 100% 24/7 is probably what buggered them up. I'm down to one card left now, but it's on an open bench with the stock fan profile left running.

That said... last time I RMA'd the pair of them, I also ordered an aftermarket AC cooler just in case I ran into a problem again. :)

Actually I forgot to mention in my previous post that my brother also has a cyclone GTX 460 as well and has had zero issues.

I'm using a R6950 Twin Frozr II card with unlocked shaders, and it is has impressed me thus far. It runs really quiet and cool compared to the reference 5870 I was running before.

I currently just bought a 7850 Twin Frozr III. I haven't used it, but I'll probably be only doing small amounts of Bitcoin and Folding (8 Hours), at a time when I sleep. Should this have the same problems as running the fan's at 100 percent?
