Dead 6800 OC?

[konakona]

I got in on that outrageous BFG 6800 OC / HL2 bundle deal, and the card was working very well till this afternoon, when the computer shut off in the middle of 3dmark2k3 all of a sudden. the card was overclocked to 422/822, but there was no sign of artifacting so i know i didnt push it that far. the computer works fine without the video card and the card failed to work in other computers as well. with the video card in the AGP slot, the computer wouldnt turn on. the power light comes on for like 0.5 sec then it goes off with a very short beep. Upon careful inspection, one of the fans was split in half in the middle. i have not a slightest idea how it happened, just my luck i guess.. right now it is superglued back to one piece.

Anyone have a idea to fix it? its a long story, but RMA is going to be a PITA so i am looking for another way out...

Sounds like it blew up. Don't think there is any way out.
