So the cards works perfect, but it could happen if I'm not careful - and I barely moved that capacitor just be handling the card, so I'm not happy. I have also heard bad news about Sapphire RMA. I may reconsider my Sapphire only policy for those reasons (my other ATi was Powercolor). XFX seems the smart choice these days. I'm also an Asus Motherboard fanboy so I would consider their video cards.
imho the two best ati vendors today are xfx (double lifetime) and asus (voltage tweak). I have also owned sapphire and his and the experience was perfect with both of them, though I didn't oc video cards back then and never had to rma one.
