    8800GTX freezes; high temps?

    What type of PSU are you running? Didn't see it on your sig.

    First RMA experience

    Update: Video card temps cap off at 85°C with fan at 100% during a L4D run. From what I've been seeing online this looks like the norm. Correct?

    Yeah, I got back a GTX 8800 OC2.

    So far my replacment card is working fine. No crashes. Running GPU-z shows an idle temp of 55 and 46 degrees Celsius. Not sure why there are two temps listed. Are these normal temps? fan is at 60%.

    I am about to take back everything nice I ever said about BFG

    That's odd, when I called in for my card, they asked me when I purchased it and I told them it was like two years ago. Then the rep asked where I made the purchase and I told him I had no idea. He kind of shrugged it off and asked if I had ever registered it. I said no, and he didn't really...

    Reinstall OS for a replacement mobo, or plug it right in?

    I was able to keep the same install even with an entirely different board. Windows just made me re-activate my license. If you've done this too many times you might have to call in to get a verification code.

    BFG RMA 8800 Ultra OC

    How long into your use did the artifacts appear? My RMA had a similar error. Except I got an image that resembled well... this http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4514/screenjy.jpg This was after the initial freeze up that occurred soon after the first boot.

    New GeForce 196.21 WHQL drivers from Nvidia

    I wonder if I should try installing these drivers along with my RMA replacement?

    Update: My card arrived today. Might have to leave work early so I can test it out. lol

    First RMA experience

    Luckily I was able to return the PSU i used for troubleshooting. Why buy it if I don't need it? I don't think it was the same card they sent me back as I wrote down my serial number and even took pictures of it in case they sent it back damaged or to see if I would get back the same card. Oh, an...

    How many times have you used your apple care?

    First time for both the cracks on the back and a track-pad button issue. ( they just replaced the whole keyboard) Second time because they misaligned the bottom portion of the case and the rubber feet would wobble when I typed. Very annoying. The "genius" said it was the first time he had seen...

    Nvidia 191.07 drivers causing outright hardware failure?

    I was running on the 191.07 drivers since they came out and most games ran fine, including DA. I did notice some artifacts on floor boards after I updated to the 195.xx drivers though. This didn't last too long though as my card died the next day. :D

    So time to for a aftermarket cooler?

    Would removing the heat sink void your warranty? I wanted to do this to my 8800 but there is a portion of the sticker that covers some of the screws. Unless I am just thinking about the plastic cover on the fan and not the entire heat sink.

    BFG RMA questions/stories?

    Today my missing card was received by BFG despite my forgetting to put the RMA form inside the package. Hopefully all goes well and my next card will not have faults.

    Ok, so after a few days of panic, my package made it to the RMA center and has been received. Yay! Hopefully my next card will last longer than 5 min of use. I hope the next card has better luck. I was thinking of using it as a PhysX card.
