Last time I had an eVga card, actaully my last card, a little thing fell of..Sup wrote:

A common mistake when thinking about GFX temps. The Core is not the only temperature that needs to be looked after.
Either try to find low profile ramsinks to fit under that fan, or return it for a different version.
You get what you pay for tbh.
Lol thats was a fake EVGA from China.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

This man speaks the truth.
If it is the memory nothing will reverse the damage, contact the seller or the manufacturer for a replacement (then do the ramsinks).
EVGA does not do radeons..Sup wrote:

Maybe try omega drivers instead?
My last card (eVga)
In the red ring, what fell of.
In the blue ring, where it was supposed to be.
EDIT: How long is the Furmark stabillity test running?

Yeah, that fagish AMD sticker on your case.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

For heatsinks, get copper ones similar to this. You could also use the penny method.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
None of the companies control their own manufacturing. (Except Saphire and a few others for obvious reasons) It was ASUS's mentally challenged engineering team who did not put RAMsinks on their "overclocked" edition.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

I'm confuzzled.
Stressing your graphics card. If it artifactes or your temps go too high, it's bad.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

Well, the temps were over 70C when I closed it and it was still raising.Freezer7Pro wrote:

What you need to do, is to put your finger on one of those RAM chips when furmark is running.Lieutenant_Jensen wrote:

First make sure there is a burn ward within 10 feet of your location.Freezer7Pro wrote:

There, no RAMsinks.

I have an EVGA 8800GTS though, and fucking LOVE it
EVGA = my favorite company, ever.
Hmm this is putting me off buying a 4850 now .
I second testing the memory temp. Overheating ram can cause some funky problems
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
Yes thats correct. EVGA is an nvidia only manufacturer. But I didn't say get an EVGA radeon card did I nowGodFather wrote:

you think there are no problems with nvidia ones then? haha...wah1188 wrote:

and ye PC partner makes radeons. Sapphire is their retail name.
Foxconn makes NVIDIAs and some other company as well...
so "shock" you eVGA fans... your cards are identical to others

It's their support that kicks ass. The step-up programme is one of the most intuitive things I've ever heard of from a hardware manufacturer.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

and there are other manufacturers like BFG that have lifetime warranty.

Well, yeah, those things work best in the US. But you've gotta admit taht even offering something like that is pretty awesome.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

I personally prefer using a finnish oc forum for buying/selling/changing hardware. works MUCH faster and get awsome deals.
and eVGA tends to have a price premium on their products compared to other manufacturers.
