And what did you do? Too much voltage? So hot ?(dont think so) Which configuration? Maybe you have "found" a new "so many A64 deaths" case.

[A Scream]

well, it was under a vapochill, so it didn't get to hot. I think the most I ran through it was 1.6-1.7 I had the stuff in my sig, except it was running SLI. I really can't think of why it would die. The computer just shut down, and it wasn't even in the middle of a test or anything. I guess I have a reason to test my 3800 venice now... not the reason I wanted though.

maybe you will get a better stepping :)

I wish I could RMA it. but AMD says it OEM. I'm talking w/ the guy I bought it from, he said he might be able to help me out.
