His is a genuine XT PE.
Is yours a modded Pro card or a purpose bred XT?
This is with the replacement of the standard cooler for the new Arctic Cooler Rev 4 with the memory heatsink plate and exhaust fan.
It also helped replacing the standard heatsink paste with Arctic Silver 5 which I did last week. Doesn't allow MASSIVE overclocking with it but I can certainly get the bit more without getting serious display corruption.
If you want to go that bit further I would grab the Arctic Cooler and some Silver 5, it does a cracking job.

same here, I think the cards definately need volt modding; upping the core seems to cause a power deficiency and instability.
eg: 520/560 = big no no although temps seem ok.
508/569 = No problems, decent temps.

It was for me anyway.

Don;t think so, instead try DABS, they offer finance.

So am I right in thinking it's just the clock speeds causing instability as Ihave read that it may be the RAM timings being different as well as the Voltage difference.
If it's justthe Clocks, I may give it a go. General advice it to underclock anyway.

I got something similar, had to go back down to pro clocks, im waiting for a nice waterblock to come along before i go back to the more aggressive clocks of the XT.
