know that feeling.

 

Well I never registerd the dam thing but I get a 1 year warranty, but have to pay to have it rma'd. Its not pricy. But I have changed the compound under the south/north bridge heatsinks. They had a bad problem with running too hot. So I shouldnt get in trouble but it would suck to get charged for them to replace it cause of that. Might as well buy a newer board. Dammit!!!!!

 

that shouldnt make a diff. I always change out the heatsinks on mine and use artic silver on em.

 

We'll see. I sent them an email that said tomorrow I'll have a response and I found a 24/7 number. I'll call after work tomorrow. Dam this pisses me off.

Maybe I can talk them into evga bucks and just upgrade to the 700 series. I dont need to cause I can still kick *** on 3dmark06 over that people that have a 700 series.

 

Did you overclock it?

So, I started working with computers back in the 90's when I was a lowly delivery driver for a chain pizza place that used to have red roofs. I've put together a couple PCs by this point and was helping another driver assemble his. I set his motherboard on an anti-static bag and booted up to test something before putting it in the case. Everything went about as flawless.

So, a few weeks later, the same guy is doing a similar test and can't figure out why it is isn't working. Turns out he didn't set it on the anti-static bag, but directly onto the case and completely fried the motherboard.

 

I'm glad I got 3 laptops and 2 pc's just in case of emergencies...
