Anyone with a 290 flashed to a 290X?

For anyone that flashed a 290 to a 290X (to unlock the CUs), have any of those cards died prematurely?

Did yours?

No, I was just wondering if anyone else's did. I only flashed it yesterday but will go back to stock if the card is at risk of dying prematurely. I flashed it for mining purposes and found that the card hashes higher at a lower wattage...can't complain about that, but I don't want to risk it dying for a bit more hashrate.

My Powercolor seemed to show artifacts in games when flashed as a 290X, so I flashed back.

But this happened as soon as you flashed it or after running for some time?
