Has the "hot" running issue had an impact on performance? Any other problems to date? Thanks, -M

Not necessarily but it does deplete my laptop battery quite a bit, nice to know I'm not the only one experiencing issues.

It never worked for me at all. I tried everything! Couldn't get it to work.

We've installed several of these. So far we've had issues with only one of the units. Not sure if it's a heat issue or the adapter itself.

Mine also runs quite hot. After a year of "continuous running" it still runs hot and has not failed.

I am running Battlefield 4 with no problems. Only time it slowed down for me and gave me hiccups was when it got dirty, took an air can and cleaned it out, that took care of the problem.

At minimum I am running a Corsair 650watt power supply. Granted, I also run a quad core mobo, 2 hard drives, a DVD/CD drive, Blu Ray Drive and 8gb of a RAM. I have not had a problem with performance or overheating. I do not know specifics as far as clocking and framerates. Currently, I can run Unreal 3 in most high / ultra settings and CryEngine 3 pretty smoothly as well. I hope this helps! :)

Ive noticed mine running quite a bit hotter, I think its because the system is able to run faster, so it takes a little more power to the processor. I have compared power specs of the drives, and they are VERY similar, so its not a problem there. I can get a thermometer and compare temps, I have a stock one I use also, so I can run them side by side, and take temps from both to see how they compare. I have ran it quite a bit with the new drive, it IS noticeably faster, and I haven't had any issues yet with stability or crashes.

No. I have had mine for a couple of years now and it runs fine. Best range of any I have used. I bought these for both my daughters, as well as two friends. All are running perfectly. If you get one that runs hot, send it back - it is defective. The folks who have hot running ones should have gotten another one. It has a warranty. If it had failed in another way, it would have been returned. Why wouldn't you return one that is running hot? I guess they would rather low rate a fine piece of equipment than to send it back. Amazon is really hard to send things back to. NOT!

Yes, I'm running it on an ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 motherboard and haven't had any major issues. It's always a gamble ... once in a while you might get a bad card, but sometimes the small handful of people who have had problems are the ones that complain the most. (EDIT: I feel I should mention one thing. This card is known to sometimes "flicker" in 2-D mode when you're on your desktop. It doesn't happen often, and newer drivers can help, but you might see it. If you can live with that small glitch, this is a great card.)

In terms of the PCB and the physical chip itself and its performance potential? No. I don't think so. However the only obvious difference I see is in the heat sync/fans and after owning mine for almost a year now I can say I've never had problems with mine overheating.

Not me, I run mine almost non-stop. Never had any over heating issues with it.

Haven't really done it myself but you shouldn't have any issues, that is in my opinion the big advantage a desktop has over the laptops, anyway i've played many next gen games and haven't got any performance issue so far

I have had my XPS 8700 for a few months and it doesn't run hot at all. It does get used a lot with a teenage by and three younger siblings.

Runs fine on mine. The graphics card combined with the elite network card... runs it like a champ.

I own two of them and I have never had that problem. Check to make sure that the filter screen is not dirty and clogged, I know that this will make it run hot.

Hello my friend. We tested two hours running at full capacity. It will be overheating, but it will not crash.Usually you can reduce the CPU load operation.

Yes, not a problem at all. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. Never had a problem. Best investment on my gaming PC I've ever made.
