Seems to me like all the problems people are having with the 7 series cards occur only when they OC them.
Like in my new comp, I'm debating on either a 7900GT or 7900GTX (both eVGA), and they will be OCed. But to avoid complications, I'm getting the Zalman VF900-CU GPU cooler, so the card doesn't overheat. That seems to be where some of the problems are stemming from; the fact that people are OCing their card(s) but then they die b/c they OH.
P.S. I'm debating b/w the two cards b/c I wonder if it would be a better idea to get a more mid-rangeish card instead of a highend. No point in spending $659 (I'm in Canada) on a GTX w/ DX10 around the corner.
