Ironically I read lots of people (here and on other forums) laughing about posts in XS about dying cards... many say we are to blaim to have dead cards for flashinng the BIOS (and they say we did it "incorectly") and even that we shouldn't RMA the card if it failed even if we were o/c (which I didn't) it in CCC or similar... just absurd considering ATI themselves give us this ability to begin with in every driver release

So by them if you enable overclocking in CCC and you find your HD4870 dies.. it's your own fault and if we want to just increase the fan speed again it's our fault because the card was mean to run 70-80C idle... and they call people who make new ways to do things noobs... I wonder who's a noob here
