Was this a warranty issue or are you upgrading on your own? I'd be interested in doing this as well.

I'm upgrading on my own. Don't know why but my 6990m got toasted temps never went higher then 83C ;/

I just cooked my 7970m as well. Stupid cryptocoin mining addiction... I have been trying to figure out if my 7970m heatsink would work with the 780m/880m for the past 48 hours. Everyon seems to say it will work but noone can confirm this. If i dont have to buy a heatsink i would love to try out an 880m!
