I can see lots of card RMAs going back, all with suspiciously similar faults to the power circuitry, or whatever and the user denying all knowledge of disabling the failsafe. 
I reckon a mini review by W1zzard on how to do this properly would really help us enthusiasts to minimize the risk.  |
Really though, it just comes down to the same thing as overclocking anything else in your system. Watch temps, voltage, etc. Nothing new.
