So I'm pretty sure I've lost my first GPU mining.  Yesterday one of my rigs blew a PSU.  Installed a new one and begin hashing away great.....
Watching Afterburner I notice my 6850 that used to run sub 80C was climbing and not stopping It hit 98C before I shut it down.  checked fans, heatsink, and airflow everything ok other cards in system hasing fine at normal temps.  This is at stock settings no overclock.

Anyone else experience something similar and confirm the card is beyond use or repair?  It can not mine 5 minutes at 100% load without approaching 100C.

Thanks,
Nachius

For .25 BTC shipped it does!  Grin

In years of troubleshooting I've lost video cards, but the behavior on this one that had been mining was  not the typical no post, blue screen, lock up or stability issue  it just works solid until it bombs out and doesn't, can stop the miner at which time it cools off very fast and restart it and it goes again for a few minutes wash rinse repeat.  I suppose I could setup safe temp limits and gpu restarts until it goes completely, but just getting some verification....
