I purchased the corsair pc 3200 XL 2x512 from newegg, had to return them twice to new egg, then after receiving 3 sets of bad memory i went dircetly to corsiar and had them replace with tested sticks.
took over 1.5 months and spent way over 400 dollars, loosing time at work and paying for all that shipping , and if thats not bad enough i paid for overnight service the first time i purchased.
I just cant win
check this out
baught the pc power and cooling 510 deluxe atx pfc
directly from the manufacturer
first one was d o A
second one lasted only one evening
woke up at 5 am to go to work
turn power on and there was a loud pop and bright flash
second one was dead
got a new one but lol it had a delta fan in it , so loud i could not even run it in my living room
so I figured to take things into my own habnds at this poing
now check it
took the psu apart
without cutting any wires or voiding my waranty
I swapped in a enermax dual bearing speed adjustable 80 mm fan and used the extra molex connecto to connect up to the psu's 2 pin fan power connector
used wire cutters to clip the 3 leg from the 3 pin and boom
totaly silent and runs like a champ
and still got a warranty
now to the video card
lol
got from new egg
sent it back 3 times for a swap
to this day this vc goes into autobreak mode durring games, i however once again took things into my own hands
scored a pci fan card and modded with same enermax fan
so it flows directly on the heatsink and ramsinks
also
i ordered a vga silencer nv3 for 5900 xt cards
found out my vc pcb only has 2 holes and the cooler has 4 legs lol , to make things worse, i can not get the ramsinks off, tried the freezer trick overnight but with no luck
even grabbed them with wire cutters but damn things would not pull off.
they must use some new type of glue when installed at manufacturer
