    I have written a little poem:

    Dear 3870

    You served me for many months and never complaind about the the too strong vcore. As long as you could hang out with your pal AC S1 you were always happy. Your pcb was blue as heaven itself and your Caps were oh so solid. As time went by we learnd to live side by side. You with your 1000 Mhz Gpu and me with my playful mood. But one day I accedently grounded one of your mod-points and your gpu turned black as the night. You screamed
    for a short while and then it got silent...

    Now you can play all the games you want and meet with other 3870:s and maybe even a 3850. I know this was your dream, to engage x-fire with a red pcb 3850 to share your workload. Dont forget to use double bridges in that case.

    You will always be rememberd.

    Great stuff, I am sure your HD3870 appreciated this. I simply muttered "piece of garbage" as I shipped off my 4 dead cards

    I've a 3850 with similar stripes....when i boot i get stripes of green dots

    but my card was not realy dead...when i pressed at some points of pcb it worked sometimes fore a couple of days without the green stripes

    i think on my card something has no real contact to pcb or the pcb has an internal cut or something of a memory chip has no real contact...

    but i'll send it to RMA

    it was not my pencil vmod caused this kind of problems

    from what i can gather, it's impossible to volt mod an asus card until they leak the pinouts of their proprietary ic's. sorry.
