OK guys my card is finally back in business.
After all it was a broken capacitor near the outer screw holes. Somehow I managed to damage this capacitor after remounting my barrow waterblock (this block was bad for my card but that is a different story).
Learn from my mistakes and be super careful when mounting your waterblock. There are a lot of capacitors sitting directly near screw holes.
If I had to guess what killed all the other cards in regards of waterblocks here on forum, I'd say damaged or broken capacitors.
Btw. I managed to score 14801 on PR with the xc3 BIOS and 14380 with Std OC BIOS again.
