Yeah. Both of my video cards died. Honestly. One of the reasons I did SLi was as a just in case. Well. It failed.

Are you sure it's not your motherboard?  Two cards failing at once seems pretty rare unless the motherboard shorted them out or they over-heated.  However, most newer cards will lock-up or simply quit working if they get too hot, not burn out (unless you cranked the voltage up too much)...

[Days of War]

What happened is one of my graphics cards started dying ages ago, so I switched it to the second slot and switched the other one to the first slot, and that worked until recently when the video card that I switched to the first slot started acting up. So, I switched them around again. That worked for a few days until one of them died. Now this one is almost dead.

Sounds like you have other issues, if you are burning out cards that fast your voltage is up to high, or you are trying to overclock them too much, or there could be numerous things that could be going wrong.  The pointis, look elsewhere, not saying your gfx cards arent failing, but if you dont figure out what the core problem is you will end up burning out more cards in the future.

Well, I bought over one and a half years ago. Besides, I'm building a new computer in a few months, so, I'll just buy like a 7600GT for now.

It's all about the overheating IMO - get a good case and you can overclock it as much as you want.

Antec 900 FTW.

Or you could open both sides of the case and point a floor fan at it.

Cases are for losers.. I just have all my computer parts on the floor.

[Days of War]

Ok, they did NOT over heat. I never have the side of my case on. And the video cards didn't over heat, they never got hotter than 65 C.

[Draygon]

clean your fans, and the filters, etc...even with your side off you can still over heat.  It just depends on where your case is, how much air flow is getting to it, etc...

[Days of War]

Draygon, did you not see where I put the hottest temperature they reached? The GPUs never got hot. So. I have no idea. And I did clean the fans, by the way.

And w00t! I'm gonna be back in the game, baby. I'm getting payed a few hundred dollars to make some lodge a website. New video cards, here I come.

leaving the side of ur case off may be ur problem as this distrupts the airflow..Air is set up to flow throughfrom front to back and if u take the side off ur airflow to ur cards may just go out the side of the case creating a hot pocket of air.
