There's still a case fan, cpu fan, and power supply fan, just not one 
dedicated to the card itself. The fire didn't start on the components 
that were attached to the heat sink.

I've run all sorts of computers for 40 years now, have had all sorts of 
hardware failures, and this is the first one that caught fire.

The server hardware I've seen all had very noisy fans. I couldn't bear that.
