Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like I was too early to sing their praises. I shall keep a check on things. Did the replacement appear as a separate order in your online account?

Unfortunately we do not make the cards and cannot help/tell if they become faulty as we just supply them to the customers. If it is a replacement that has gone faulty, that is pretty unlucky.
I would recommend returning for a different model or the same again. 3rd time lucky as they say.

It didn't appear as a separate order I got a email with tracking number.

I'll have a think about to do. So I dont have to accept a replacement if I send it back I can ask for a refund ?

Always nice to know you have people like 5UB and rjkoneill to help you should anything go wrong. Which, for me is a great comfort as every gadhet I touch breaks

Yeah that's good service. I've just posted in there too, still very unsure what to do with my 480 here. As they are EOL, and there seems to be so many failures out there, it's a bit of a problem.
b tw - bit of a repeat of an earlier thing on the thread - but do all the cards have a missing thermal pad on the memory chip nearest the SLI connector ?
mine does - I asked Gigabte about it and they didnt' answer
just seemed odd - even reference cards have all the memory chips attached via thermal pads to heatsinks

Seems like there just overclocked to high...
There was the same problem with the MSI OC 580 gtx cards...
which i own 2 of,,I just bios flashed my MSI OC 580's with a lower speed of 800mhz instead of the 832mhz they came with and there fine

Mine is running nicely so far on a HX620. I did a Heaven 2.5 bench and seen nothing. It runs all my games without problems. I don't see the need to use OCCT on mine.

OCCT determines whether or not the card is stable. For example later on when games take that much power you may be screwed. Better to find the problem early.
^^ true - but how does anyone know their 570 or 580 are OCCT stable (properly) unless they remove power limiter - which has then fried some cards ....
if its running and stable but in a power reduced mode - then iits not a genuine test
so those cards could prove to be unstable in a future game than ran the card at 100% but didn't kick in the power limiter as it wasn't OCCT ? or is that flawed logic ?

Presumabely new games will have power limots as deemed nescessary
