After the v8, both of my r9 280x have died. Be carefull.

I don't really believe in coincidences... But I'm not sure. Maybe usage went up, and so did temps? Maybe they got hot enough to melt the solder, or something like that. I have a pretty aggressive fan curve on afterburner, even though my cards stay fairly cool. Around 75% fan at all times, or more if temps go anywhere over 80C.

I had same problem, it is thermopaste problem, i changed it and the problem was gone. temp went about 20C down.

Yeah, I've had that problem before, too. I replaced some fans via ebay purchase for some 280x's and it shipped with some white thermopaste. Tried it out. It was total crap! Replaced it with some Tuniq TX-2, wow, what a difference! Never use the white crap from china, never.
