I'm going to go out on a limb and say you do NOT have powered risers. An expensive mistake.

Those Gigabyte coolers keep the core nice and cool, but the VRM temps can reach ridiculous numbers. My 7970 was hitting 110+C before I realized it. Now I undervolt, and I never see >80C. And that was BTC mining, so I'm sure LTC pulls more A thru them, causing more heat.
Stock coolers have the VRMs making contact with the main heatsink directly, before the core. The fan blows over the heatsink, reaching the VRMs, and then the core. Keeps those VRM temps down, while increasing the core temps a little bit. On these Gigabyte ones, the fans blow the air through the heatsink, and then onto the tiny little VRM heatsink. That VRM heatsink is way too small, and it's only receiving hot air which has been used to cool the core. Bad design.

Holy shit!
What clocks did you run em?
Seems like low quality parts...
I run my HD7850's mem@ 1500 (6000 effective), stock is 1200, and havent had any problem, I have Asus ones....

Stock clocks, not overheated. My pics is here: http://imgur.com/a/ovHug/

This shit happen with my 3 Gigabyte 7950 cards (they are dead, RMA in progress) and with my 2 7970 cards (alive, still in service for ltc). Have a look to this post: https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,4886.0.html
Yea, it was mining ltc... Damn it man... So is it just this GPU or litecoin mining in general?
LTCdamn it man... so how do u mine ltc without mining ltc? my mobo, cpu, and ram was free (old pc) then i bought 3 gpus... i need 4 more months to pay it off. lol

LTC

Only time I have seen something like this is when someone is mining LTC. Seems to be pushing those cards to do more memory based things versus GPU based things really is havoc on those cards.
Has any of this happned to you? I went to my rig this morning, and it was off... Strange... So I hit the power button...
ZZZzzzzttttt!!! Sparks fly! I get scared and pull the plug quickly...
SHIT! Glad my house didn't catch fire... Also glad I had a in store warranty... Wonder why this happened? Does gigabyte suck? Or did I do something wrong? Its been working fine for about 2 months....
