I have known this for a long time, has anyone else read about it or been scared for their reference 570? Because im thinking about getting a 570 and newegg has an evga reference card for $330. It seems like if you just keep under 1.1v and keep the power limited enabled then it should be fine? Does anyone know if nvidia took this to attention and just put 2 morep haes on reason reference cards? Or are they leaving it to user error?

There is never a all encompassing guarantee around end user over clocking.
There are so many variables, from temps/ to m/b selection, power delivery to owner sensibility. If you want to go for anything more than a conservative o/c, I would look at the specialty cards, offered by MSI, Asus or Gigabyte.
Those specialty cards, give both beefier power circuits and usually a beefier heat sink with more copper, heat pipes and or multiple fans that you can ramp up faster to dissipate the massive watts overclocked gpu's can pull.

I was also looking at the Evga GTX570 Classified
