1) You're honestly going to try to RMA the card? I'd be real surprised if ATI allowed it (a burned trace is gonna be obvious to them). I know this isn't going to be a popular idea, but honestly, the card going bad is not ATI's fault. You modified the card, and the result of the modification is a water leak that caused the defect.
2) You do know about their new RMA policy, right? You send your card to them, and it takes two to six weeks to get the replacement (if it's deemed to be warranted).
