I had the same issue with The Asus 4830, where the Fan Bracket ontop of the heatsink began to rattle around after a few days, then after a few days of that i noticed that my system had one day turned itself off while i took some n00bs to skool in 2142!
and with that i felt it was injury to insult and cracked open the case to discover the cooler fan had stopped working! i cranked open CCC and looked at the temp and it was 85 degrees C! which i know is about 10 degrees above normal load running temp!! so i shut down the system as quick as i could and left it alone for a few hours came back and turned it of and kiked CCC in the guts and watch the IDLE TEMP rise to 65 Degerees C with an ambient temp of about 15 Degrees C...this Almost makes me wanna buy an nVIDIA card......did i just say that?!
i'm sending it back for RMA to the vender and hope that this was a one off thing for me as everything else i have owned from Asus has been solid gold and has worked perfectly.
