Dead 570's (Have you killed yours?)

[bassplayer]

As there seem to have been more than a few dead 570's, I'd like to collect some information.

Core Voltage:
Clocks:
OCP/Power limit disabled: (Y/N)
Load Temperature:
VRM Cooling:
What you were doing: (Gaming, benching, stress testing)

Here's mine:

Core Voltage: 1.212V (1.223 with DMM)
Clocks: 1100/1200
OCP/Power limit disabled: No.
Load Temperature: -40C
VRM Cooling: Stock unisink / cold from phase / fan
What you were doing: Running Vantage Performance





Here was my original post:

Well guys, got a 570 yesterday to play around with. I had one of my teammates do all the modding for me (I'm shameful with a soldering iron).

I was playing around with it yesterday and running some benches on air. I noticed that I was extremely limited in that there was absolutely no scaling above 1.15V. So tonight, I prepped the card for some subzero phase fun. Insulated it very well and booted in, idling at -50C.

So the first thing I did was kick the voltage up to 1.212V (max in software) to see how high I could get without adjusting the resistor for GPU voltage. I ran a quick stability test and made it up to 1100/1200. I decided to do a quick Vantage run and made it through both GPU tests and then crashed in the CPU test (). So I booted back up after adjusting my CPU in the BIOS and reset clocks.

Right after Miss Jane Nash showed her assests and dove onto the boatplanething, there was a bit of a pop, some smoke, and my computer restarted.

I turned it off and quickly dismantled my card. It had only been cold for about 10 minutes so there was absolutely no moisture at all.

Then I found my VRM's





Don't go over ~1.15V unless you add some phases!



Also, this isn't isolated to just me, check these links on OCN:
