XFX had a patch of bad cards on the 4000 series. Not so much in the 5000 series. They are doing great in the 6000 series though.

To the OP:

If you bought it from a brick and mortar store, just take it back and get a refund. Sounds like it was an RMA'd card to begin with.

**** happens. Now if this was a reoccurring problem it would make sense to be angry but every company has a bad product. And please, for the love of my eyes, learn how to use periods. No one enjoys reading a paragraph long run-on sentence.

Cool. Make sure to get the latest drivers.

Also use MSI Afterburner. That will work the best for overclocking.

Nope. Haven't messed with it too much yet but it doesn't seem to be stable as a quad no matter the voltages. My motherboard, isn't exactly ready to handle it unlocked anyways.
