Looks like a fake pic. lol

My new computer with 8800GTS, riva shows a fan speed of 1600 rpm and it rises to about 1800 rpm if the temp gets 'crazy high'. In other words, those fan speed limits are dumb and I can't change them to trigger the fan speed to rise sooner. I just use the fixed fan speed option as it works...

Bought a new computer w/ 8800 GTS 320MB to play Oblivion. Works well. But playing Oblivion w/ crazy mods, forget it! I downloaded 25 gig worth of mods for the game and just started the installation process and this game has huge potential and it doesn't seem that any 8800 video card is up...

Agree. Another note: I bought a clothes washer a few years ago and one of the selling points by the store was a rebate offered by the city as part of some 'energy savings program, you get $50 back' etc. I turned in the forms and got notice that the city stopped offering this program...

Lets not make excuses guys. I used the word generic just to describe a form that wasn't vendor specific, the rebate form used is a legit document that can be used in any courtroom. The form is an OCZ rebate with 'Terms and Conditions' etal... written all over it. [post 17]. The reality is...

Time to move on. A new quest has started [OCZ's second committment to pay] 'We shall see Mr. Frodo' If they pay the piper :p:)

If you are on SLI then get the SLI version. I bought this ram recently for non-SLI, works at advertised speed and timing. I can probably run this at 900Mhz tops.

Special MIR Program OCZ Memory Rebate Terms and Conditions: This mail-in rebate offer is valid only on purchases made by an end user from a participating reseller on this specific rebate program between August 16, 2007 and August 31, 2007 on select* OCZ Products. *Include one of the...

I sent a nasty gram to OCZ marketing department and I got this response. snip ..... "We will move your promotion to the correct offer and have the rebate house honor your file." They imply I did something 'incorrect" :rolleyes: ... yes... we know the consumer is always at fault when...

I bought thousands of dollars worth of tools from Amazon.com when they had their tool specials going on, lots of rebates. I took the chance and got 100% satisfaction. I bought a $1500 Zerox printer this year from their website [store] as they offered a $500 rebate on this model. I was...

A while back when I was trying to decide which motherboard to buy, I noticed that if you go to the vendor's 'support' forum you can see if the product in question is good by the number of technical problems posted on their forum. Why didn't I do this for the memory ? My bad! ..... I was in a...

I guess I'm not alone with OCZ rebate problems. This was my first OCZ purchase, so why do we buy from them if they have a history of messing up rebates when there are many other vendors with better service? :p

The rebate form used was generic, I snagged it online, I don't remember the link. It had no specific vendor listed, it was a generic OCZ rebate form will all qualifying memory model numbers and UPC's listed. The letter I received has a claim ID number which should be sufficient if they...

Not receiving a $40 rebate isn't going to kill me, rather it's nice to tell people about vendor customer service, this is an area that is often neglected when making a decision, most people go for what appears to be a great deal only to have risk of getting burned by the poor service. When...

Bought some OCZ memory at the local retail store; Fry's Electronics, sent the rebate package to OCZ and I got a telegram from OCZ that my rebate claim is invalid because the retailer is not authorized in spite that Fry's Electronics is listed on the OCZ website. :mad::rolleyes: I will...
