Dead 570's (Have you killed yours?)

[mikecdm]

One of my 570s died yesterday with 1.2V on air.....zero mods, cold temps, and very little use. Never even removed the heatsink

This isn't looking good. I've been running mine for over a month now. Only time I use it is to bench it and is still holding up. It has an mcw60 on it, but stock sink for memory and vrms.

Hmm been testing my cards at 1.213v on air. I think I'll back that off a bit now.

I've noticed that temps help more than volts at a certain point. This unpredictable texas weather sure doesn't help. Some days I get better clocks than others just based on what comes in through the window. I haven't gained much by using 1.213 over 1.20v.

We'll just have to see if it survives once I freeze it
