I am not scaring ya m8. Its the truth.

My x600 lasted about 7 months at the OC i had it at. The card was ultra stable, running the ATi tool artifact test A-OK. But like i said, it eventual bit the dust.

After it died, i removed the heatsink, (which i never touched) and around the GPU there was a small amount of scorching on the board itself. That card was black, so i would of never noticed, no to mention the heatsink was all around it.

If ya up your voltage, you take the risk. I dont know how many people you have talked to, but i have heard many Soundcards etc go up as well. So the FSB can be tricky.

I didn't up the voltage on anything except my RAM (and cpu, but thats within Intel's recommendation), of which I've been adviced to by the manufacturers themselves.

Also, I've changed out the GPU HSF. Temps are way below what I would get at stock cooling and stock speeds (10C below).

So I'm pretty safe I suppose....
