I have had the card to 915/1000 but it ran fine and it was only at 1.75v. ...

So you?re saying the card just died and not from OCing even though you had OCed in the past and were OCing it when it died? Brilliant!

No, not necessarily. Stock is 800/850 so that much wouldn't hurt anything and I ran it like that without adjusting the voltage and the temps were around 52C during load and about 28C idle. I think I may have hurt it when I was benching the thing at 915/1000 on my stock cooler. The temps hit 94C and were still going up when I pressed esc to stop it. e_e But the max temps on the card are 104C

I don't know if you really put more than 1.35v through your card but if you did that is way too much. I am on watercooling and I don't venture passed 1.375v on my 4870 which in theory should be able to handle more voltage than a 4770 (55nm vs 40nm for the 4770).

Which means you killed it by OCing.

He addmitted running it at 2v, im pretty sure thats what killed it, honestly the OC doesnt matter much i dont think if he was running at that voltage, he would have still killed it at stock clock running 2v.
