Second GPU dead in 2 months. I'm done with ATI. Moving to Nvidia at this point. The first one died at stock speeds. The amount of spontaneous death with these cards is frightening, in fact is SDS - Spontaneous Death Syndrome.

For what it's worth, you did modify your card. Most other people running the stock cooler haven't had this issue. I don't think it's really fair to point the finger at ATI when you clearly voided your warranty and modifed your card.
