If it only happens on GDDR5 cards, what about the 4870x2 or 4770? I would test it on my x2 except that I sold it. I'll be sure to test it on the 4890 when I get it - it better pass at 1.45v and 1100mhz core .

What kind of water blocks were used? Full cover?
I don't rule it out completly, but the possibility has been made very, very unlikely at that point. But truly, i only use very basic shader instructions, and DirectX9 functions. Nothing fancy.

I don't have any reports on the HD4770 card at the moment. The 4870x2 cards encountered the same problem, but it happened on one card only, and in crossfire mode, which multiplies the problem factor by 3 or 4.

I don't think it was a full cover. the watercooling didn't increase the vrm cooling, but we increased the VRM cooling by adding fans, without success.
