don't worry, it have allready been posted, but i don't know if we have really seen many case yet .. ( well i think it's the only so far i remember, but i don't know maybe some have got same problem ) If some know more cases, will be interessant to know what part have die too ( anyway no luck it's an AMD sample and not an AIB one.. )

The Editor in Chief of Overclockers Club, Bosco, already said that one of their samples also died recently and that he knows of four more dead 6990 and two other that are having problems.
(http://forums.overclockersclub.com/i...c=183386&st=36)Ya the 6990's are not fairing much better I know of 4 cards that are dead so far with 2 more having issues. One of ours died as well..... shakes head

Most of the 6990s dead are samples and retail cards with the "special" thermal paste removed for naked shots. In the shop where i buy my stuff they have the same RMA rate of the 5970 or gtx580.

Expect this to be cited around a lot.
To bad he didn't report about it earlier... did the blowing GTX590's make him remember about that?Originally Posted by RSC
(If he did, then please link)
He brought it up when someone posted a list of GTX590 that had died. Just for the record the person in question, according to his sig., has two 6970 in CF, so he is not a suspect of being a green fanboy.(...)
To bad he didn't report about it earlier... did the blowing GTX590's make him remember about that?
PS: The earlier link I posted was broken. Here's the link again.
