My cards haven't melted down, but my PVR-250 (and my
PVR-350, before I replaced it with a PVR-500) ran very
hot. The PVR-350 was even hotter than the PVR-250.
I've yet to have a card die from this, but I can see
it being a factor, especially since in order to keep
the case quiet, I am running 120mm fans at slower
speeds.
