Yet, I can't find any source on the internet where overclockers or gamers are having the same problems as miners. The cards only seem to break down with mining...
Is that just because mining is more intensive or is there more too it?
true... i tried to look for it too.
somehow it is not a overclocking problem...
if i have the card without any overclocking and just set Intensity to for example 20 than i get crashes although according to the guy who wrote cgminer Intensity is not an overclocking setting i think:

Intensity is the amount of work in one go the GPU has to do before it can return its results. It needs to be large enough to keep the device fully utilised yet not so overloaded that the device becomes unresponsive. The faster the GPU, the higher the sweet spot is. Ram is of no use to mining whatsoever. They could even mine fine with only a few MB of ram.
