Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Ok, insurance did a number on me, i sent them whole pc when my gainward 6800gt gs died 3 weeks ago, they specifically asked for whole pc to be sent to them for inspection, i gets a phone call 2 weeks ago saying that wall socket has damaged more than just the vid card so they gonna build me new system,fairenough. I gets the brandnew pc today, cool pc it is, opened her up and noticed this thing inside, smallest 6800gt i ever seen, Its a club-3d 6800gt ????. neva heard of em but I said to myself how bad can it be?. I juiced her up and noticed she was running at 71oC idle hmmm, I tried different drivers and temp remained the same am like wtf m8 so i tried the quick css stress test then suddenly pc shutsdown ? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. turned it on 2 minutes later and idle temp now 85oC :D am loving it. I shuts her down and opened her up then started her again,to find fan not spinning, ok I just put on my gainward cooling solution, it fits so why not, same thing, fans not spinning and temp now 90 odd degrees at idle on desktop :icon_evil . so now I have got cool pc with uber crap vid card and a new pc coming next week and 2 broken 6800gts I just cant take no more. I seriously wanna bust some **** up, so now i gotta wait another 3ish weeks probly for another cheap and nasty vid card to be sent to me.... its enuff to make anyone :icon_jook :mad:

Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 ok new 6800gt has arrived, this time its a msi nx6800gt, and dam there is mega amounts of freebie software with it :D, anyways temp is stable at 58-61 idle with stock cooling, better than that other cheapo card insurance tried to bump me with :icon_evil . heres hopeing all my pc woes are gone for the next 3 years cuz ive had enuff of broken hardware in the last 2 months to last a life time :( :icon_roll :icon_frow still dont beat gainward golden sample that died on me which was like 48 - 51 idle with stock cooling and never reached or breached 60/63 with a lil touch of OC ;) R.I.P
