I ran it at top speed for 4+ hours today with no problems. I was actively cooling the cards with an extra p-IV cpu fan sitting precariously on top of the cards. So, my problems were definately heat related. I have yet to try to see if the same things makes the tg3 nics behave better, as they ran even hotter than the e1000s.
