Well, I hope it all works out!! With a new board such as that Evga you are bound to have problems with some people!! They will get things fixed, just take awhile.

Wow, sorry to here about all your rotten luck!!! The monitor wouldn't bother me as much as spending 3 hours routing cables only to pull the board and send it back. RJ seems to like his Evga board... especially based on his benchies. This can only get better. Keep the faith! :cheers:

can you try 3dmark05?

how much did it cost again?

i can get that board, ram, and cpu for less then $1000CA (maybe not the cpu..), but about that, but the gts is almost $720CA with tax, and the GTX about $1000CA..

Those temps just make me want that Swiftech system even more. :D Hey scara, if you run into heat issues Swiftech has an even larger rad. It's the MCR-320

Bleep! They don't allow a direct link. Cick Radiators on the left side. :unsure:

Yeah......was looking at that Rad buddy........dunno where I'd put it though?......LOL!!.....this thing is massive enough (and its outside the case) ;)

Had my burn in period now......so gonna up the clocks this weekend to see how far I can push her :unsure:

Shoved a couple of 40mm fans on both the South + North bridges and that has lowered system temp from 36 to 24 also.

Grab the Swiftech kit though.....well worth every penny.....and very quiet!!!! :D
