Hi I have just got my miroHiscore3d (Pure3d in the US) and i have no problem whatsoever, i have clocked it to 60 and its running like a dream and i am not using any fan, it gets really hot though but the guy at the store told me, i will get a new card if this one crashses burns...etc he told me when the company (Canopus or Miro) makes it possible to clock it to 60 it is their problem not the users or stores.
