With proper drivers and soft voltage modding, the card oc quite well.
But, you're certainly right, power regulation seems insufficient for massive OC.

Anyway, Damien take another thermal shoot, more precise :

....i might be slightly confused, but ur saying the 6990 is unusable at stock and the 590 is usable at stock...when the only cards to die are the 590s..and we're talking about in days of usage...me personally i thought this card would be very nice however after seeing this i wouldn't buy one at all cause who knows how the long term would be even at stock..Cheap quality for such an expensive part...
