Is it dead gpu?

The temps are fine. My 6870 can hit 60 after 6 hours of gaming.

well mine goes about 54C after gaming left4dead 2 or dead rising borderlands etc it stays round 54 during after game play it is 45 to 47 c

True, but my ambient temperatures are 27 or so degrees and 60 is the maximum. It typically hovers around 55.

Your temps may be fine for now, but gaming or other GPU activities can skyrocket those temps, especially if the GPU is overclocked beyond specs.

You asked why two GPU's died in six months??? Overclocking can cause this.

If you're overclocking, you need to make sure you're using the correct values as overclocking done wrong will cause problems. Check that your PCI slots aren't running to far above 100MHz.

I run an overclocked system myself so I'm not bashing, just saying there's a right and wrong way. However I don't overclock my GPU.

My two cents.

It really is starting to look like the core overclock. 40mhz is really quite high without some
additional cooling. Might get better results with a 5-20mhz overclock on the core and
experimenting with the memory. Usually 5-10% with the core and 10-25% on the
memory is safe. Not that I am saying it won't damage your card! Overclock at
your own risk.

According to the specs it should be allright.
Thats the specs of gpu. I dont overclock anything on pourpose but for some reason it was tick in CCC for overclocking. I am installing now something to try.

Actually you were running your core @ 740mhz according to your pic.
Hmmm.
Also your no load speeds were high.
Attachment 120586
See @ the bottom
yours were 400mhz and 900mhz I believe.

yeah..true. well that settings were set automaticly. how do I set them lower? where it should be as I can not find anything in CCC

I suggest you download the latest drivers from ATI, then reboot into safe mode. Uninstall VGA drivers.
Reboot into safe mode, reinstall latest drivers in safe mode, then reboot.

I change PCIe settings in bios from AUTO to 100MHZ. Now CCC showing all clocks are lower. I still cant fix POWER SAVE MODE. It is still doing it fore some reason.
