I think it should be okay. When I was running my stock 450, it was 
always around 55c, but now that I've added a 7v fan, I've also added a 
Radeon 7500, and a 80gb 7200 RPM drive, and it stays at a constant 
24c-30c. I can't see how the 800 with a 7v fan could get near 55c...

But who knows. I guess if it's not supported, it's at your own risk. I 
wish there was some sort of way to check the temp of the new G4's.

Pop your old fan in for a few days and measure the temp of the 
heatsink. Maybe we should start using the heatsink temp as a way to 
measure this from here on out...so we all have a standard for heat 
measurement?
