Ewwww i have got to get me one of those :eek: The 945ES has now officially been moved to mundane secondary rig status....its a sad day

Uh i never said they didn't....i was responding to someone stating that unless it was a BE the multiplier would be locked which is just not the case....the exception being ES CPU's which always have an unlocked multiplier even if they are fabricated after a non BE chip

Maybe so maybe so...i guess they could recall there cards but then again it's not really a problem that is going to hurt performance of the card or general operation albeit that is no excuse for the problem I am sure they will happily accept both mine and the OP's RMA's on the case though so...

Ahhh 135 Shipped definitely isn't bad and to me that cooler looks like a decent zalman design and those are always ample and quiet coolers kudos on the great card I hope MSI's RMA department is good...i just sent in my sigrig mobo for RMA...hoping for a new board in exchange as mine is pretty...

What's your budget? You could get a decent card and use a nice aftermarket cooler with a low db high CFM fan... I am running an Accelero S1 Rev. 2(with fans) on my 4850 and its voltmodded and overclocked to blistering speeds...the temps are staying well within spec on everything and the card...

I have to agree...its only getting more common for games to support the extra cores As long as you are getting a playable FPS range in your games i guess your fine...but you have to think about how much smoother you gameplay might be with a CPU upgrade With a decent OC though you should be...

Nice choice That XFX cooler is absolutely horrid from what i have heard...i have the dual slot cooler on my XFX 4870 and it sounds like a hurricane...that MSI cooler must really be nice im sure it must be quiet Really as long as the warranty wasn't a big factor for you that MSI card looks like...

That's your caps squealing...its quite common on both Nvidia and Ati GPU's....in fact it "ale's" my sigrig's 4870 under heavy loads It is nothing to worry about so if you are dead set on RMAing it expect the 50/50 chance you will receive another card with the alement...goodluck on getting a...

I have to concur that a 785G would do nice with that 940 so long as you don't plan on SLIing or Crossfiring... I got a good deal on my MSI GD70-790FX and even though i never really had it planned i am starting to lean towards setting up a few nvidia cards folding etc... If it's not too...

I tend to get the "upgrade bug" more often then my hardware is started to just get down right dated...of course i haven't had a build up for long so i guess its a matter of time atm...

Unless the CPU is an ES in which the multiplier is usually unlocked;)
