Mentions StarCraft II beta testers, but maybe something to be aware of.

This isn't limited to the starcraft beta. The drivers screw with the fan speeds and the cards overheat. So it can happen to any game that would put your card under heavy load.

A "cooked" card, nice!

BTW: why do this strange company release new drivers every 3-4 weeks?

It's insane...
