My 6800OC fried last night.

[Rollo]

ive never even rma'd a product before (except for a doa mobo once) so dont flame me be calling me a thief. The guy didnt steal anything and its not fraud because they did not ask if it was modified if the asked and he said no then that would be fraud all he did was answer their questions...im done with this thread but if i come back and see that you have flamed me again i will contact a mod

LOL
Are you a grown man?
"Oh no! Please don't tattle on me cell_491!"


Dude- a rep from BFG himself told us in no uncertain terms that this guy voided his warranty and is no longer covered.

Why don't you wake up, realize you were wrong about this, and admit your mistake?

What you think doesn't matter at all? What's on the warranty itself and is given out by their employees is all that matters.

The OPs warranty ended when he took the stock HSF off. A BFG rep has verified this. Whether or not they "asked him if he took the stock fan off" is irrelevant. I'm sure they didn't ask him if he ran it under water either, but if he did and then dried it off, RMAd it without noting this, he violated the warranty.

If anyone needs to be censored here, IT IS YOU. Why would HARDOCP want the rep of a place that supports people fraudulently taking merchandise from a vendor that obviously gives them test cards?

Why don't you report me?

I can see it now from the mods: "Damn Rollo, sticking up for the company that gives us free stuff and their rep! We're going to ban him for the guy who tells everyone "Steal all the cards you like! If you're a [H] OCer with mad fan installation skillz, it MUST have been the companies fault!"

rollo, I suggest paying 5 dollars and taking your attitude to the soapbox. Seems there is an intelligent conversation about how to effectivly make a good company a great company that is happening around you, but you seem not to realize that you are a not a part of it.

You know, Rollo, I highly doubt that any mod would thank you. It seems that you've tried to provoke me into a flame war, but I really won't stand for that. Especially with a "perfect" person. To be truthful, I think you're full of shit. Nobody can really be that humane, unless you're one of the Cybernetic Ogranisms p) from Alien or the like. Personally, everyone chooses their own path, I see no reason to attack them morally for their choice.

The problem is that BFG is a great company. Who else gives you a lifetime warranty and 24/7 tech support? (hint: no one)

While it would be nice if they gave you all the free cards you wanted and Silencers for them to boot, I doubt this is profitable for them?

Because you are diminished yourself when you watch a crime happen and do nothing.

People with integrity understand this. This isn't "Woodstock" and we can't all just let one another groove to their own beat and follow their own path, no matter how much closer that would put us to the Goddess.

 

[Huan]

Oh get off the boat, you people act like you've never done anything like this in your life.. Like a politician stealing tax payers money and pointing out a small time criminal that knocked over a chewing gun machine

 

[Project_2501]

Hell, maybe I am "diminished" but I have plenty more left in me, watching (and condoling) the RAM of a videocard that has been modded (I agree that it was modded) isn't going to do a whole hell of a lot for my "Karma".

BTW, who decides who has "integrity" and who doesn't? That sounds like the problems with Communism, who decides? Also, don't make it look like I want to be near some "Godly" figure, I don't care about religion, never have, doesn't interest me. taht has NOTHING to do with my decisions, my decision is because it is hard as hell for me to make $300+ to spend on anything.

Well, if you want to know that, a politician in a neighboring town was ellected for an office position, this is after an open conviction and prosecution on the charge of gambleing. An open convict was put into office, for gambleing.

Ok here it is. Im not Lieing to BFG, and im not going to bitch for a new card. I explained the problem, they told me to RMA, if they dont take it, i get my messed up card back and eat the difference. So there you go. BTW i paid 400 for this card a few motnsh ago from Chumbo.

Sure took a while for people to actually figure this shit out.

IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO RMA ANYTHING. Jeeze... some people really don't see the root point here?!? The boys (and girls) at BFG know what the hell they are doing. Let them make the decision... not some rightious bums in a forum.

They can accept or reject it at their leasure. You should not lie. You should not cheat. You should not steal. Fine. BUT-- if I tell the guys what happened and he wants to give me a new video card?

Sue me.

Ah, screw that. STFU.

[revenant]

wow.. we really took this one and ran with it. lol. I almost kinda (sorta... maybe a tiny bit) feel sorry for the thread starter now... I mean, this could have happened to any one of us who OC's with aftermarket HSF setups on our card(s)... I suppose... and it's true... you can RMA things you broke back to the manufacturer, not saying it's a good thing to do, but it's not illegal, and then the manufacturer makes the decision on whether they will replace it for free or not. It's up to them. oh well... I think it's pretty cool and funny that a BFG marketing rep was watching this... oh, the irony. Really smart for them to be doing so, though. Props to BFG.

And yet this point still blows over rollo and all those others flaming emoretared

 

[cell_491]

dont worry i brought the flaming to the attention of Kyle

Auctually they are a good company. There are no great companies. There is always room for improvement. I dont post PM's but what things come down to was I was willing to send my parts to them for "their qualified techs" to install so my silencer with AS5 was "warrantied". After all of these conversations I realize I truly dont care. If I ever have problems I will stick my busted fan stock cooler on and ship it off. If I get a phone call saying the core is cracked or some sort of damage was done I would ask for them to ship it back, verify with a scant dot I placed on the card its truly mine and eat the cost.

I highly doubt that will happen, what will happen is the techs will simply repair the bad cap or whatever burned circuit it is and return it. We all still have a good relationship. Easy as that. Thats what John Malley was referring to in that quote that was dug up. If they cant tell we did "our magic" then they dont care, especially if its a problem that is known to happen.

Rollo there are many sideways things that happen in corporate america that keeps things running "smooth". Thats all that BFG and us as end consumers are concerned about. I hope BFG makes a point of making a better heatsink or at least developing a working relationship with artic-cool so as I can get exactly what I want instead of having to make what I want.

LOL

Oooh did you tell him ..."He's a MEAN man!"

or

"Rollo isn't NICE at all! We just want to steal a few video cards, and he says we're BAD!"

or

"That guy from BFG may seem to agree with Rollo, but WTF?! We just want to steal a few video cards! They owe us, we're [H]ard!"




This is just sad. I hope you're under 13?

Like I said, Kyle is welcome to perma-ban me for defending his buddies at BFG, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why he would.

This man speaks with truth and wisdom.

Thank you.

Rollo the flaming he is referring to I think, is you calling the guy a POS thief. Personal attacks are not allowed on the forums. While you didint name names we know who it was directed at.
