Perhaps.

Maybe that's why they cheap out on a lot of their cards.

Thats right Bro!

Maybe we should have some better TIM in hand when we get these cards and fix XFX's problems before they become ours.

Wow. Think I'm going to stop recommending XFX cards for a while. The warranty is excellent but RMA can be a real pain. Maybe they shipped a bad batch.

I replaced the crap TIM on my video cards as soon as I got them, dropped around 10C on load temps

My XFX card hasn't had any issues yet. See? Nvidia > ATi

Let's see how many "fanboy!" comments I can get.
