Gotta love newegg when they mess up and give you the wrong CPU, specially when its better then the RMA

 

[NosBoost300]

what did you have before?? 170?

 

[Lord AnthraX]

Yup. And it was dead so I sent it back and they gave me a 175.


WOOT

how do you mod the voltage? Your not talking about the soldering are you? My video card runs at 500/750 normal, my cpu at 2.0ghz.

ahh.. we have a thread on it in the oc part of the forums.. all you need is a multimeter, and a conductive pen.. oh and a pencil of course, its incredibly easy, you should take a look at it

ehhhh ill have to pass on that lol, it was hard enough getting my mobo screwed in the case and getting the typhoon hooked up 0_0 they never said itll be upside down.

Is the typhoon supposed to be upside down?

Tricky, evga has pretty much admited there was a problem with their 7900 line of cards, and they have issued a correction. You can rma your current card for the new version. Read up on it here

At least they did acknoledge they had a problem, which is more then you could say about other companys(this is a wide spread problem).

hmm wonder if I should rma just for the **** of it.




meh if it aint broke dont fix it!

 

[xXx-Tricky-xXx]

wow thanks alot, im going to send it back rma it just to make sure.
But i dont want ot end up with a even worse one though. While I havent seen any artifacts, atleast Im not sure if dots going vertically down the screen in wc3 is artifacting, but it does crash my higher required games sometimes. Think I should be safe and rma it? Ive had it a few months now.
