I did worry about card temp using the full 8 pipelines and did quite a bit of testing. Form what I could determine there was not real increase in temp using 8 pipeline vs using 4. I guess they are not like the main GPU - and it's not a case of 'overclocking' (increasing gpu or memeory clock rates) - more a case of using stuff that is there but normaly unused. I also understand that the fan on the hercules 9800se is the same as on a standard 9800 - so it's 'rated' for 8 pipeline use.
