How are the GPU numbers correlated to the dual GPU on the cards? Is GPU 1 and GPU 2 on the same card?

If your PSU gave out, then it probably wasn't the right wattage. I've had my 550W PSU for over 3 years, running nearly 24/7, and for the past few months at 100% 24/7, and he hasn't given in yet.

But to answer your question, none yet. My desktop (which I've have had the parts for many years) is still running strong, with no signs of problems. My dedicated miner with 2x5830's is running just fine, with no signs of problems either (except for when the power went out, damn you lightning storms).

Luckily I am a firm follower of the FSM, who lets me delay my noodle appendage touching for later hours if something comes up.

What's the GPU activity looking like for card #1? 61C is very very low for a 100% load GPU. Or it's possible the temp sensor is malfunctioning.

Maybe the opposite, have a non-shown smite system. When someone gets enough smites for troll/spam posts, they can only make 1 or so posts a day. It'd be nice to have less of a barrier to entry since some people have constructive things to say.

It's pretty much dick measuring: It doesn't matter at all and no one should care.

Valve = greatest company on earth.

I think his forum sig makes it even more funny. I better switch to solo mining so there's gonna be 4 peers now.

The fan of the cards are intake fans, drawing the air in the plastic cover and out the back where the DVI plugs are.

For your blower idea, you might want to include the cases' rear exhaust fan located above the PCI slots, since that will cause a lot of air suction through the case, pulling heat off the top of the cards and reducing the heat of the air the card's intake fans will suck in.

That's only hardware accelerated applications, like Flash. I running MPC on my main computer with a 5850, and Mh/s only drop by 2 or 3.

It'd probably burn out soonish if you're running the card at 100% 24/7.

I like how many these posts are just flaming the guy who started the thread. Great community!

Sounds like someone else really wants to get fired for using their work's equipment for bitcoin mining.

I made the following comic just for this thread. I think it sums ups what all the rational people are thinking about the whole Mtgox situation:

I just looked at the motherboard on Newegg for reviews and saw that it is one crappy motherboard (31% 1/5 reviews, that's pretty bad). From what I read there, I doubt it's the graphics card causing the problems. I doubt it's even heat issues, rather an unstable motherboard.

Does this sound like your situation?:

Might want to post this on the mining sub-forum, will probably have the better target audience there.

GPU is really the only thing that effects Mh/s, just go off that chart. Also take note that many values are from overclocking (clock speeds are shown on the chart).

Most CPU and GPU have failsafes that shut them off at a cretin temperature. Maybe a really really cheap PSU ran at 500% load since the eighties would cause a fire, but I doubt anything would if hardware is installed properly.

I think these forums have the most funny cooling solutions I've seen. Keep it up 

If you're the person waiting until the very last second to bit, then you might come out ahead. I can't imagine why the price would even go up until that point, except for the "stupid" users of the site.

It's a brilliant business scam really. The people actually buying the stuff can't complain because if played right, they'd pay X + $1, where X = ending action price. The site makes a shit ton of money off the bids, and the people who are losing the scam are the ones trying to bid early. I can't see any reason why anyone with any sense would bit until that last second, though.
