Theres always new tech coming, you've got to jump onboard at some point otherwise all your ever going to do is play a waiting game.
I didn't lose my temper in that post btw, I'm just saying, yeah, it sucks that a part isn't working properly, but rma it and move on.
Also I don't think I've seen you recommend any other parts to the op instead of whats already been recommended. Instead of ranting about what a terrible board it is, maybe you should spend that time helping the guy.
cool then. rma could just lead me with another motherboard with the same problem. One guy on that forum rma'd 3 motherboards! i have no stomach to go thru that. Nvidia having been playing silly buggers and its been a good while now but hopefully there will be a fix. If i send back its for a refund cos there aint a fix. Year 2008 Video experience has been a fat 0 rating but gaming 10 out of 10, overclocking 7/10.
Im not ranting im informing of the serious problem with some of these boards. thats help aint it. didnt i say X38 X48 P35 as alternatives? if he didnt want to run the risk of getting a dud. You try watching a vid then your screen goes rainbow and you pc locks up. its fun. if he really enjoys video/movies/youtube/streaming vid this could be a potential big headache. relax get a beer dude
so basically, i shouldnt get this board:
Newegg.com - EVGA 132-CK-NF79-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI DDR3 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
if that is right, which board do you reccomend that fits with all my other pc parts and is future-proof and has really good OC'ing capabilities?
Im saying dont buy that board till the fix is out (new bios) and its confirmed to solved the video corruption bug. Appart from that fault its a great mobo for playing games and such. Intel boards are known to be little more stable and OC better.. you just got to know whether you really want sli with 2cards.
Personally if i was spending 790i money id get a Foxconn BlackOps Intel X48.
If i was spending 750i money id go for the the Asus/Gigabyte P45.
(thats if Nvidia dont fix it)
you was saying that old chesnut about new tech always coming out.. well yeh but not a true upgrade, a worthy component... 280 GTX thats 280 "improved" stream processors working a 512bit bus. Thats gonna pack a punch and that aint even the GX2 version, will you need sli with that?... Even ATi's new series looks promising. Well just have to wait and see.
