Oh, sorry for you. That was the second card or the one you wanted to RMA?Originally Posted by dnottis
So heat could kill those cards. Any one used to electronics knows that even if some circuits are built to run at 125°C, they will for sure die quicker than if ran at 60°C or 55°C
One more reasone not to cut original heatsink, or your RMA will be voided
Maybe also mounting/unmounting without electrostatic protection killed your card

That was the first one. So maybe the VRM overheating issue is a sign of faulty components on the GPU. I didnt remount it before it died. It just started to artifact in MOHA, when I came back to the desktop within a few minutes the screen went green with lines. Would not boot anymore, no more LEDs, nothing. Dead GPU. I had the fans over the back end and the VRMs werent getting all that hot when it died.
Definitely dont cut up the stock heatsink. Heres hoping an Asus 4870 will be a better choice.

Wow...a LOT of info in this thread.
I am in the planning stages of a watercooling setup in my Shuttle XPC SP35P2 that won't probably happen for a couple months, but I was looking at GPU blocks and was considering the D-Tek Fuzion v2 GPU block when someone pointed me to this thread.
I suppose it's a good thing that it'll be a little while before I'm ready to start buying/building this loop...hopefully things will be sorted out by then.
I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread though, keep at the research guys...all the hard work is very much appreciated.
