I was told by evga to rma the ram which I did. It worked fine for a week. Then I was told my psu might be failing. Which I rmad (sorry ocz I bet it worked fine). I even updated to the 850 watt ocz (you still got my money). Blah blah blah 1354326 tech support calls including the two heads of the rma department and no one can seem to solve my issue. Now the rma heads wont even return my phone calls. After ocz was nice enough to rma my ram for a 2nd time I received the ocz 8500 sli set. Which worked for 3 weeks I was very excited because it was finally solved... or I thought. Then it failed AGAIN. I am currently rmaing my board for either the 5th or 6th time I lost count. Every single board has had the same issue slots 1 and 2 DO NOT WORK while slots 3 and 4 work fine. This means 1 gb of ram and suck it up or RMA the board. Then im told its quarterly inventory time in the rma department at evga and it might take them the rest of the week before they can even ship out a replacement board. So I took apart the whole computer and its layin in pieces now. I bought this board when it first came out and have yet to either have sli working or 2 gb of ram working at the same time. I told them there was something wrong with the ram but they dont care. They would rather just rma the board over and over rather than dealing with you or finding an actual solution. Now they finally officially admit there is a problem and the tech people who work there arent even aware of the official admission!! I just talked to two of them who had no clue what I even meant. I realize this is a nvidia design flaw, but if this next replacement board doesnt work then I want my money back and an apology. They knew something was wrong a long long time ago. Its been posted on the evga forums for months with issues relating to high voltage ram. Its not ocz's fault their ram is rated to run at high voltage on a board that is supposed to be able to handle up to 2.5 (?)v. So sorry I ran my voltage up to 2.4 which its rated to be able to do. I guess its my fault for buying this board. I have yet to see anyone with ram that seems perfectly compatible with it and these flaws seem to go to the striker as well. If I do have to get my money back I guess thats the only alternative to me or else dont use sli. Sorry for the rant but I just wanted to share my experience with this board and with the company. For the most part evga has been cool and promptly rmad the faulty equipment, but their have been many many errors and far too many phone calls on my end. For just starting in the motherboard business they need to get their together and take customers seriously. Its 250 bucks for the board. I just dropped that on wiring for the inside of my pc. I can spend my money elsewhere with other companies. Dont make us!
God that was crazy. I would send them to hell for sure after all of this and never buy something again from them.
